The IWMI-Tata Water Policy Program was launched
in 2000 with the support of Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Mumbai. The program
presents new perspectives and practical solutions derived from the wealth
of research done in India on water resource management. Its objective
is to help policy makers at the central, state and local levels address
their water challenges - in areas such as sustainable groundwater management,
water scarcity, and rural poverty - by translating research findings
into practical policy recommendations.
Through this program, IWMI collaborates with a range of
partners across India to identify, analyze and document relevant water-management
approaches and current practices. These practices are assessed and synthesized
for maximum policy impact through IWMI-Tata Publications.
This website has been created to promote
the exchange of knowledge on water resources management, within the
research community and between researchers and policy makers in India
and abroad.

IWMI
-Tata Partners' Workshop to present Critical Issues in India's
Water Future
|
|
| |

Besides
presenting over 50 new pieces of research conducted during
2003, the Anand-based IWMI-Tata Water Policy Program will
inaugurate a Citizens' Monitoring System for the Narmada Project,
the lifeline of Gujarat.
A few years ago, skeptics laughed at
the idea that Narmada water will ever reach Saurashtra and
Kutch. But Narmada waters are already in Saurashtra and
Kutch. A new monitoring system being developed will transparently
report quarterly progress on the Narmada project and its
far reaching social and economic impact.

Since its
inception in 2000, the IWMI-Tata Water Policy Research Program
organizes an annual workshop in which the policy research
carried out by the Program and its partners is presented to
a group that includes partners, donors, NGOs and policy makers.
The annual workshop serves as a sort of Review, helping us
get useful feedback from a critical and discerning audience;
but it also acts as a Strategy Workshop, helping us set the
agenda for the following year's research program. We have
planned our second annual partners' meet during January 27-29,
2003 at the Institute of Rural Management, Anand. |

Water
Policy Research Highlights

IWMI-Tata
Water Policy Research Highlights and IWMI-Tata Comments are
summaries, syntheses and assessments of work done by IWMI-Tata
in colaboration with its partners. As their names suggest,
Water Policy Research Highlights are based on specific work
carried out under the program, with the aim of disseminating
our work to a wider audience. IWMI-Tata Comments, on the other
hand, do not restrict themselves to a specific paper or research
project but go beyond and sideways to include other relevant
work done in the same field outside the IWMI-Tata Program
with the purpose of expanding the horizon of research and
for bringing the discourse on the topic to the 'next' level. |
