In continuation to the earlier postings, just completed the National Seminar on the above cited subject by the IPE, Hyderabad. It was good and effective. The excellent part is it brought out the seminar volume in the form of Book entitle "WATER GOVERNANCE" with ISBN number. This is good output and should be continued. At the end, it has concluded with several points which needs to be carrier forward.
1. Effective and need based Regulation on water resources
2. Move towards Social Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) in stead of Income based CBA
3. Look for Economic Rate of Return (ERR)
4. Strengthen CSR
5. Move towards Business to People (B2P) instead of Business to Business (B2B)
6. Look for holistic approach covering: Social, Economic and Political (SEP)
7. Moves towards the model of GMAARSQ ( Governance and Management of water (any resources) with
Availability, Accessibility and Reliability with Sustainability and Quality)
8. Understand the SWOT of privatization in Water Sector.
9. Move to PCP (Public Community Partnership) from PPP
10. Balance Commodity as a fundamental right Vs Demand Response Supply (DRS).
11. Who needs water should be responsible and accountable.
The concept of RAIN WATER HARVESTING and WATERSHED MANAGEMENT has already ignited the minds of the stakeholders and we all needs to move forward with need based approaches with better participation and accountability in transparency which leads for sustainability and quality of life.
Looking forward for better WATER ENVIRONMENT...
All the Best
