Numerous conferences and polices have been formulated over the years to address the issue of water insecurity. Against this backdrop, the paper focusses on of the various water policies taken at the international and national level and highlights the areas that need attention. The paper tries to understand the threats to water security and suggests possible solutions to brace the problem in the future.
