1. Introduction
Drought in India has resulted in tens of millions of deaths over the course of the 18th, 19th, and
20th centuries. Indian agriculture is heavily dependent on the climate of India: a favorable
southwest summer monsoon is critical in securing water for irrigating Indian crops. In some parts
of India, the failure of the monsoons result in water shortages, resulting in below-average crop
yields. This is particularly true of major drought-prone regions such as southern and eastern
Maharashtra, northern Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Telangana and Rajasthan
India is classified globally as a water-adequate nation. It has neither abundance nor scarcity. It
has enough for its needs. Yet, increasingly, more and more people do not have water to drink,
more and more farmers face drought and starvation, and more and more industries shut down or
cannot grow because of a shortage of water.
