'Water should be everybody's business'

  • 15/05/2001

Water is too serious an issue to be left solely to the government, hence water must become everybody's business, and for that water movement at the grassroots is a must, says a book released in Kathmandu. The book-Making Water Everybody's Business: Practice and Policy of Water Harvesting-also asserts that where there is rainfall-however meagre-there is hope. Edited by Anil Agarwal, Sunita and Indira Khurana, the book is published by New Delhi based Centre for Science and Environment, and tells its readers "all about the people and communities who are celebrating the wisdom of rainwater".
