Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Synthesising the lessons of a two-year collaborative research programme by researchers and NGOs, this paper suggests that improved water control strategies, designed after taking contextual factors of resource conditions and socio-ecology into consideration, have a high potential for redressing the livelihood problems of India's most neglected people, besides also leading to sustained and solutary impacts on wider human development indicators for this region.
