Abstract

Climate variability and urbanization intersect and create patterns of peri-urban water insecurity. The presentation provides evidence of climate change, and ways people are adapting. The study advocates for disaggregation of data in order to better understand vulnerabilities (gender, class\caste vis-à-vis access to water). Scientific analysis is rarely available at a local level so that farmers rely on their own observations and subjective interpretations. Local concerns are not reflected in the planning process. The project shows that involvement of communities and related government level departments would benefit in getting the planning right.
