To investigate the question, the Vaigai basin located in the State of Tamil Nadu, India, is chosen as a case study.
Although the Vaigai basin is representative of other basins throughout the developing world generally, and India specifically, the issues emanating from naturally limited water supplies, combined with rapidly increasing sectoral demands are particularly problematic.
Indeed, intra-and inter-sectoral water conflicts are already present in the basin, and existing stresses-in terms of both quantity and quality-can be expected to manifest themselves even more dramatically in the future if actions to redress the situation are not taken.

Jayalalithaa pointed out that she won despite the fact that all her allies in the last Assembly elections, such as the Tamil Maanila Congress, the Congress(I), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India, had walked out of the AIADMK-led alliance and decided not to participate in the byelection.
Karunanidhi countered this campaign by saying that Vaigai Sekar was the "real child of your family and the son of the soil".
