Abstract: Abstract The article presents the future water security scenarios of India for 2040. The estimates of future water demand are based on the premise that the demand in sectors such as domestic water supplies and food production would be driven by the long-term economic growth trends and demographic trends, respectively, whereas to allow the Indian economy to grow in various key sub-sectors, viz. industry and production of commercial crops at rates seen in the recent past, provision of water needs to be enhanced. While doing so, economic growth itself would demand change in technology, governance and environmental conditions.
