description This paper examines the existing and evolving groundwater law in India in the context of its capacity to ensure equity, sustainability and realisation of human rights. The critical evaluation of the existing legal framework is followed by an analysis of key gaps in the existing legal framework. This paper also aims to suggest basic principles, norms and approaches that should form as underlying elements of a comprehensive groundwater law capable of ensuring sustainability, equity and human rights.
