Luxury Trading On Poverty: A Study of Jaisalmer and its Water Crisis

Author(s) Ms. Mahima Duggal
Country India
Abstract Jaisalmer is a small city in the state of Rajasthan, India. The city is known for its heritage luxurytourism. Lavish historical palaces are now converted into luxury resorts and villas which areused to accommodate tourists who want a taste of luxury in dessert. The city is also known forbeing one of the most water deficient cities in the country. Women wearing traditional Indianclothes and jewelry, carrying several pots of water on their head, in the middle of the thardesert, is a common site here. There is no minimum, guaranteed supply of water to households(despite the construction of Indira Gandhi canal) and women are the worst hit by the waterscarcity as the onus to fetch water from miles away lies on them. On the other hand, the luxuryvillas and resorts provide twenty-four-hour water supply to their guests. Facilities likeswimming pools with infinity view of the desert are offered along with the bathtub fittings andmultiple showers in each room. It is common to find fountains at the entrance of resorts. Theadjacent existence of water scarcity and water abundance raises some serious moral and publicpolicy concerns. The resource use policy of the region will be examined through this research.The lack of political will and failure of grass-root level governance will be assessed. The findingswould be a roadmap to improve the living standards of the people of Jaisalmer by redefiningthe resource use policy of the area.
