At a national level the book examines India a country where the existence of a fundamental right to water and sanitation is largely uncontested. The book examines the law in India relating to both recognition and realisation of the rights. The book considers the complex legal framework in place at the union and state level for the realisation of the right in both rural and urban areas. The book also examines ongoing and proposed reforms to the law and policy in India. The lessons from the Indian experience provide the basis for proffering a series of recommendations concerning the content of the right and its realisation in practice. The Indian experience also provides the basis for a series of other conclusions concerning the link between the national and international legal regimes, finding that in a context of increasing global water scarcity and where climate change will have significant impacts on the global water cycle it is impossible to conceive the human right to water and sanitation only in its national dimension.
