Wells and welfare in the Ganga Basin:  Public policy and private initiative in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shah,   Tushaar.
This report analyzes how public policies designed to promote groundwater development over the past 50 years have failed in their promise, and how initiative by private agents can generate the social welfare the region needs so direly. The report outlines a five-pronged strategy for attacking eastern India's rural poverty through fuller utilization of its groundwater resources.

Bringing pumps to people: giving the poor better access to groundwater irrigation: sustainable approaches and options for eastern India
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: International Water Management Institute,   IWMI-TATA Water Policy Program.
The State government has a vital role to play in developing groundwater resources to help improve the lot of the poorest people in eastern India's rural communities. Many States have tried to achieve this over the past 50 years through centrally planned public tube-well programs. Recently published research says that most of these efforts have failed to bring irrigation or improved livelihoods to the poor. This research shows how policy makers can have a significant positive impact on poverty reduction by removing pump subsidies and opening pump markets to international competition. Subsidies and import restrictions have kept pump prices in India artificially inflated, by more than 35-45%, over those of neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh. If a 'shock...

Tubewell transfer in Gujarat:  A study of the GWRDC approach
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mukherji,   Aditi; Kishore,   Avinash.
In India public (government) tubewells were built with the intention of providing irrigation to all categories of farmers in a fair, equitable and affordable manner. However, most public tubewell programs across India have failed on all these counts. Efforts to transfer their management to water users too have met with little success. Nonetheless, the Gujarat Water Resources Development Corporation (GWRDC)-a state-owned public company-has achieved rare success in tubewell transfer by handing over management of around 60 percent of public tubewells in the Gujarat state to user groups. This study tries to identify the factors that helped in accelerating the transfer process and evaluate the performance of transferred tubewells against those owned by...

IWRM challenges in developing countries: lessons from India and elsewhere
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
Developing  countries  like  India  are  actively  being  encouraged  to  move  from  the  traditional  supply-side orientation  towards  proactive  demand  management  under  the  broad  framework  of  Integrated  Water Resources Management (IWRM). Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a sound philosophy which is hard to disagree with. However, in developing countries, what usually gets passed-off in the name of  IWRM  at  the  operational  level  takes  a  rather  narrow  view  of  the philosophy  and  has  largely  tended  to include  a  blue-print  package  including:  [1]  A  national  water  policy;  [2]  A  water  law  and  regulatory framework;  [3]  Recognition  of  River  Basin as  the  appropriate  unit  of  water  and  land  resources...
