That brings us to the Key issue: the almost complete policy vacuum prevailing in Urban Water Sector. This vast sector includes rains, floods, streams and rivers, floodplains, upstream dams, surface water, groundwater, sewage, STPs, drainage, lakes, other water bodies, industrial pollution, green lungs, Urban villages including their irrigation issues, demand-side management, open spaces, parks, riparian areas and many other aspects.
