Synopsis

The National River Linking Project (NRLP) was proposed as the solution to water-related problems in India. It envisages transferring the waters of the water surplus basins to the water deficient basins in the south and the west. Today India coping with annual floods and droughts, both occurring at the same time in different regions, has been a major concern for India. These concerns are more acute today as the growing population and the resultant increase in water demand place a heavy burden on the unevenly distributed water resources, and also cause huge economic losses to the financially vulnerable groups of the population. This ambitious project initiated at that time when there was strong opposition to large dams. Environmentalists questioned on the ecological cost of large dams, while the NGOs and civil society probed the social cost of people displacement. This book provides an essential guide to researchers, it offers: various aspects of National River Linking Project in present scenario. Simply explained, Interlinking of Rivers in India: A Socio-economic Environmental evaluation is an important book bringing together diverse viewpoints from opponents and state agencies and regulators, for all who wish to make a difference in how to plan, conserve and manage our Rivers water.
