The Inter-State River Water Disputes are one of the most important issues in India. They arise over the use, distribution, and control of waters of inter-state river basins. Besides providing for a functional government and consequential growth in the administrative process, the Constitution has provided elaborate control mechanisms so that water may not over‐run beyond banks. This has been ensured in a number of articles of the constitution along with many other enactments and establishment of various tribunals.  The Indian Parliament enacted the Inter-State River Water Disputes (ISRWD) Act, 1956 and various Inter-State Water Dispute Tribunals have also been set up to adjudicate the disputes. The constitutional provisions in respect of allocation of responsibilities between the State and Centre fall into three categories: The Union List (List-I), the State List (List-II) and the Concurrent List (List-III). Article 246 of the Constitution deals with subject matter of laws to be made by the Parliament and by the Legislature of the States. As most of the rivers in the country are inter-State, the regulation and development of waters of these rivers is a source of inter-State differences and disputes.
