About — Water (Management) Act 2000
The Water (Management) Act 2000 is a central Indian law that creates a framework for allocating, conserving and monitoring water resources among states. Its significance lies in granting the Union government authority to set national water policies and settle inter‑state disputes, exemplified by the 2002 establishment of the National Water Resources Management Authority to plan river basins.
