Produktbeschreibung
India is a vast country and is highly diversified in terms of natural resources and socio-economic setup. Moreover, its water resources are unevenly distributed in space and time. With increasing population and increasing aspiration for improved standard of living, there is an acute pressure on the demand and availability of water. Inter linking of rivers in India is seen as project meant not only for prevention of the colossal wastage of a vitally important natural resource, mitigate the flood and inundation by detaining flowing surface water of rainy seasons, but also ensure availability of water to drier areas; combating both flood and drought simultaneously. The book throws up various pros and cons associated with the project and also give insight into how such projects could be analysed. On ken Betwa link, the book points out gaps in the pre-feasibility report stage and what need to be taken into consideration when project is actually initiated. Thus the book is first step in starting a well-informed debate based on facts and figures and not on rhetoric and unreasoned passion.
