- W827793428 abstract "Demographic trends depict a vibrant increase of the world population, particularly inAfrica and Asia, and the share of people living in urban agglomerations is steeplygrowing when compared to rural areas. Increasing urban population and urban waterdemand often implies competition with other uses and users, notably the agriculturalsector that accounts for the largest share of water diversions over the world.This thesis undertakes a critical analysis of the case of Hyderabad in the South-Indianstate of Andhra Pradesh, one of India's fastest growing cities, to shed light on theprocess of administrative water allocation to cities from irrigated agriculture, anunderdeveloped area of research. It does this by examining -1) the implications ofIndian water institutional set-up on intersectoral water allocation; -2) Hyderabadwater supply decision-making process, with focus on the role that politics haveplayed; and -3) the impact of the urban water transfer on agriculture in general and on poor farmers more specifically, also reckoning on the contribution of groundwater in irrigated agriculture. The methodology adopted is based on the collection of primaryand secondary data and encompasses-1 ) the analysis of water institutions in India andAndhra Pradesh; -2) an historical reconstruction of the main policy milestones ofHyderabad water supply and the study of intersectoral competition through a conflictanalysis framework; -3) the calculation of surface water balances and groundwaterwithdrawals at one of Hyderabad water sources; and -4) the statistical analysis ofprimary data for determining the impact of shortages in canal water supply on poorfarmers and their adaptive responses.A main research finding is that institutions vesting overarching powers over surfacewater on governments can expose urban water supply to harsh political opposition andchronic delays, in particular where farmers represent a large share of the electorateand transfers occur across regional boundaries. Then, this thesis demonstrates thatintersectoral water transfers don't necessarily only bear negative effects onagriculture, notably if intersectoral water sharing rules are in place, and thatgroundwater may play a major role in compensating agriculture for urban waterallocation. The research findings also show that poor farmers are those more likely tobe negatively affected by water reallocations, not only because of reductions in canalwater supply, but also because of social inequities in access to agricultural inputs in general and groundwater in particular." @default.
