The use of the WSl (Water Scarcity Index) as a tool for monitoring Delhi's water sector is discussed in the paper. For both rural and urban areas, appropriate indicators are required for monitoring and assessing the development of the water sector. The Water Scarcity Index enables monitoring of several factors influencing water management such as water sources, capacity of people for for managing water, accessibility and use of water and impacts on environment. The index's applicability at regional level in Delhi is examined in this paper. A number of factors were selected for inclusion in the index following collection of data and evaluation in Delhi. Findings clearly distinguish between Delhi's rural and urban areas. The index was designed as a systematic instrument to analyze the water scarcity problem at the household and community levels. It was designed to assist decision-makers in highlighting the most pressing need for actions in the water sector.
