The clear writing on the wall is that India faces a turbulent water future and veritable crisis without proactive policy and sustainable practices. Besides, the poor monsoon this season and the resultant drought situation pan-India calls for sustained policy focus on the water economy. For another, our water infrastructure for storage and supply is sorely inadequate. Worse, policy distortions in artificially underpricing key agriinputs like power have pervesely incentivised cultivation of water-intensive crops like paddy in traditionally wheat growing areas.
