Abstract

Water is indispensable for human life. As a matter of fact, any economy is inextricably linked with availability of this essential resource. Traditionally water has not been a scarce resource in India. In the wake of massive demand stemming from various sectors has led to the fast shrinkage and disappearance of water bodies from the landscape. The situation is especially grave when it comes to groundwater as this resource is acutely threatened in many parts of the country due to overexploitation. The present paper is an attempt to explicate the current legal framework which governs groundwater. Especially in the context of disaster risk triggered by varied hazards the issue pertaining to groundwater should also be seen as human induced disaster. Climate changes contribute to extreme events such as drought which adversely affect groundwater resource. Therefore, attempt is also made in this paper to unravel the extant legal framework on disaster. Paper assesses India’s institutional framework which are responsible to disaster risk management and analyze how it has a bearing on securing ground water resources.
从印度灾害风险管理的角度分析地下水危机
水对人类生活是必不可少的。事实上,任何经济体都与这一重要资源的可用性密不可分。传统上,水在印度并不是稀缺资源。由于各个部门的巨大需求,导致水体从景观中迅速萎缩和消失。地下水的情况尤其严重,因为该国许多地区的地下水资源因过度开采而受到严重威胁。本文试图对现行地下水管理的法律框架进行阐述。特别是在各种灾害引发灾害风险的情况下,与地下水有关的问题也应被视为人为灾害。气候变化导致干旱等极端事件,对地下水资源产生不利影响。因此,本文也试图解开现存的灾害法律框架。论文评估了印度负责灾害风险管理的体制框架,并分析了它对地下水资源安全的影响。
