Water Resources Management: "The Global Financial and Economic Crisis and the Water Sector", "Climate Change and Water Resource Policies Among Major Donor Organizations" & "The Role of Large Scale Artificial Water Storage in the Water-Food-Energy Developement Nexus".

"With an average annual rainfall of 1,170 mm, India is one of the wettest countries in the world. Still, even with its rich natural water resources, with more than 300,000 square meters of bodies of water, the country is plagued by environmental issues such as water pollution from raw sewage and runoff of agricultural pesticides (Sharma, 2005). Another major problem is that tap water is not potable throughout the country. This implies that people, especially those from the lower income bracket, cannot avail of clean drinking water, since these have to be bought. Repugnant as it may sound, it is a reality that millions of Indians queue up everyday at public taps for one of life's most precious commodity — water." -ADB
