The Maharashtra state among few states to have it’s own water policy. The state has
adopted state water policy in 2003. The policy advocates river basin management. The
policy underlines the important principle such as “polluter to pay and first
rehabilitation then dam construction. The state water policy is good example of
visionary and down-to-earth approach. With growing population and water scarcity, there
is growing competition among various sectors of water users. This leads to conflict
among them & to overcome it, state had enacted Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory
Authority (MWRRA) Act 2005 & established a Regulatory Authority in Aug 2005. It is the
first such regulatory Authority in water sector in the country. Mandate of MWRRA is to
monitor and regulate acts resources within the state, which will facilitate and ensure
judicious, equitable, and sustainable management, allocation and utilization of water
resources. The state has also initiated and institutionalized important reform like
benchmarking and water auditing of irrigation projects.
