Determinants of per capita water supply in Indian cities with low surface water availability

Rapid urbanization is putting stress on urban water resources. Cities with inadequate surface water resources import water to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population. Water supply in urban areas is frequently held accountable by local administrative bodies across the world. In India, several...
