Abstract
With more and more economic progress taking place around the world, the demand for water is increasing like never before in the history of humankind. As a result cases of conflict over rights on water are also rising. Water is linked with human life in numerous ways and consequently people assert their rights on this natural resource through several routes. Rights of the users to use water, however, can be classified into two broad groups. One group consists of the human rights or fundamental rights. The second group is property rights over different water sources that are either tradable or non-tradable. The paper discusses several types of rights over water sources - the way they evolved and the way the courts have interpreted those rights. While focusing on the mechanism for allocation of property rights over groundwater, the paper makes an attempt to address the problem where different types of rights of individuals clash against each other.
