India's Water Future
Responses to ITP's Delphi Questionnaire
Nilkantha Rath
Under the theme of 'India's Water Future 2025/2050', the IWMI-Tata Water Policy Program (ITP) initiated a Delphi study to compile views of experts on how India's water economy would look like in 2050. This Comment is based on the detailed responses received by us from Dr. Nilkantha Rath.Our questionnaire focused on three specific themes: [1] size, structure and habitat of India's demography; [2] future sources of growth in meeting irrigation and domestic water requirements; and [3] global techno-economic trends and India's water future. Dr. Rath's responses, however, transcended these boundaries and present a lucid overview of India's water economy and its potential future dimensions.
