Following the first successful edition, in collaboration with the CII-Triveni Water Institute, we hosted the second Water Dialogues Series in Mumbai. This platform brought together government, industry, academia, and civil society to drive action on the Water-Climate-Livelihood Nexus, reinforcing the urgent need for corporate engagement and collective action to address water security challenges.
Key speakers included:
💧 Dr Sanjay Chahande (Chairperson, Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory Authority), highlighted the state’s proactive water conservation efforts and the importance of scientific, data-driven governance.
💧Ravichandran Purushothaman (Chairman, CII Mission on Water), emphasised the goal of water neutrality in key watersheds by 2030, stressing collaboration across industries, agriculture, and policy, drawing global insights from regions like California.
💧 Katie Alcott MBE (CEO and Founder, Frank Water), who reinforced Frank Water’s commitment to strengthening water security through collective action models in southern India, built on over 20 years of experience.
💧Dr Kapil Narula (Executive Director and CEO, CII Water Institute) called for watershed-level action beyond operational efficiencies and highlighted WATSCAN, a tool that enables data-led water resource management.
With water and climate challenges escalating, this dialogue reaffirmed the power of partnerships and shared responsibility in shaping a water-secure future.
