Taming the Waters: The Political Economy of Large Dams in India (Enviromental Science)
Taming the Waters The Political Economy of Large Dams in India - Enviromental Science
Author: Satvajit Singh
This study of India's large dams is set in the dual context of state politics and social classes. It argues that efforts to spend public resources on these dams are not only uneconomical and non-sustainable, but have been monopolized by a privileged few. In confronting issues of water control, the book also examines larger environmental concerns.
