As a water-stressed nation, India must vigorously focus on streamlining the management of its water resources - from source to sea. For India to become water-secure, it will be crucial to augment water supply, manage demand, improve data, and strengthen institutions. In this session, the panelists will deliberate on how implementable policies could support interventions like affordable and adaptive technologies, citizen and gender participation, and establishment of various types of multi-stakeholder platforms for water resources.
