Fellows Seminar Series | Building Delhi’s Water Resilience

Delhi’s unmet need for water is a result of many reasons, among them, infrastructure deficiencies, inter-state disputes in water sharing, and groundwater pollution. In this seminar, experts will examine the experience of Delhi’s water agency in obtaining raw water amid the growing gap in supply and demand that is only being exacerbated by climate change. Building on the findings of ORF’s paper, Exploring Ways to Fill Delhi’s Unmet Water Needs (orfonline.org), the seminar will explore the ways by which Delhi can augment its raw water base and build its water resilience.
