| Summary: | This article analyses the evolving Indian case law con-
cerning water, with a special focus on the fundamental
right to water, as well as issues related to control over
water, and the links between environment and water.

activities in recent years have been particularly
important because of the introduction of water sector
reforms and water law reforms that seek to reshape
the water sector. The response of courts to these devel-
opments is particularly important. However, there
has been no unified response to ongoing changes as
Indian courts have given varying responses to the
variety of cases submitted to them. |
