This insightful book explores Shillong, the Himalayan capital of Meghalaya in northeast India, facing a growing challenge of water scarcity. Focusing on the role of urban and traditional village councils (Khasi dorbar shnong) in equitable water management, it delves into the intersection of social sustainability, tradition, and modernity. The volume highlights the complexities of water governance, addressing challenges and opportunities, with an emphasis on water equity. It examines the contrasting roles of municipal and non-municipal areas, showcasing the interplay between traditional and modern governance systems. Through success and struggle narratives, the book also covers themes like social capital and gender. This work fills a significant gap in the literature on water governance in northeast hill towns.
