Abstract
Water scarcity is a serious problem that impacts millions of people globally during the summer months in urban India. In this study, the underlying reasons of water scarcity in Indian cities during the summer months will be examined, with an emphasis on policy shortcomings and potential legal solutions. This study aims to pinpoint the main causes of water scarcity and offer legislation remedies to deal with the issue by examining case studies, policy papers, and current literature. For the purpose of reducing water scarcity and guaranteeing sustainable water access in urban settings, policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders involved with water resource management must take into account the findings of the study.
