“Water scarcity has not only brought issues of health and well being but has brought serious repercussions as violence and conflicts. Vulnerable and
marginalized people are behind from the accessibility of basic facilities and services and this has further taken equity and equality at tailspin”. ~ Sabin
Khanal
“To ensuring the water security it adequate the quantities and quality of water resources and it requires among other factors and demand management to
motivate conservation of water use efficiency and develop the water resources planning and management”. ~ Shashank Anand
“The most challenging situations are likely to occur in areas under fragile contexts that are chronically water insecure, where water-related shocks or
disruptions of water supplies overwhelm government’s capacity for response and resilience”. ~ Romesh Kumar Rathore
“Providing water security in fragile conditions is very difficult, so in order to provide water security to every citizen of India, first we have to remove
vulnerability” ~ Rohan Kataria
“Fragility has brought complexity on addressing water issues and bringing sustainable on water management”. ~ Saket Ranjan
“Water security can be thought of as the goal of water management and it is group in two categories.
1) Management of water to harness its productive benefits and promote human well-being, livelihoods, and socioeconomic development.
2) Management of water to protect societies, economies, and ecosystems from the destructive impacts of water such as water-borne diseases, floods, and
droughts”. ~ Rahul Kumar Singh
“Investments in water security may not seem a priority compared with investments to address deteriorating humanitarian and political circumstances”. ~
Saumya

4. Fragility
Situation when governments and institutions fail to deliver core functions and are unable to manage
internal and external stresses. This risk-based approach acknowledges that fragility:
(1) has multiple dimensions that are not limited to state institutions;
(2) spreads beyond low-income countries and national borders; and
(3) is associated with patterns of risks that need to be identified and addressed to be more effective
at preventing violent conflict
Causes : Social, Political, Economical and Geographical
• Migration
• lack of employment opportunities
• inequality in access to facilities
• Exclusion
• Violence
• Power and dominancy
• Economic Diversification
• Geographical Isolation
• Climate Change

5. “Physical water scarcity is not the only water related risk”
This report attempts to advance the discussion on water and fragility risks and to promote action. It presents a typology
of policy failures that drive water insecurity and describes how these manifestations of water insecurity can act as
destabilizing forces in fragile contexts. By focusing on policy failures in water management, this report differs from
previous work on water, conflict and fragility and helps to identify the policy choices available to address the multiple
interactions between water and fragility.
But, What do we understand by “fragility”?
