International law and water disputes in India
Authors
Harinder Singh
Abstract
In relation to water
issues in India, this article discusses international law. A relatively regular
occurrence in India is water conflicts. Water conflicts involving the Krishna,
Narmada, and Ravi-Beas rivers are some of the most significant ones. The
interstate water conflicts in India are not governed by some international
legal doctrines, such as the Doctrine of Riparian Rights and the American
doctrine of previous appropriation. These Harmon principles, along with the
territorial-sovereignty doctrine, have been rejected by India. India utilises
the Equitable Appropriation principle instead, which is embraced by important
tribunals. Equitable apportionment theory has been used to settle domestic and
global water disputes and in India since the Helsinki rules were put into
effect in 1966. This paper mainly examines how the international law and water
disputes in India are implemented.
