      abstract = {There has been substantial focus on water resource  development in India, but with emphasis mainly on the  technical side. Development of institutions to manage the  interactions and arrangements necessary has received little  attention. The study uses the new institutional economics  framework and governance theories to probe local  institutions in water resource management. 29 institutions  and 450 households are covered and the data analysed  through univariate Anova and multivariate Tobit  regressions. The results show the importance of technical,  organizational and political governance provided by the  institutions. Achievement of efficiency, equity,  environment and finance objectives depends substantially on  lowering transaction costs through advancing means such as  clarity of objectives, good interaction, adaptability,  appropriate scale, and compliance.},
