Produktbeschreibung

An examination of the complex issue of human interventions in natural systems and their profound environmental, social, economic and political implications, this book discusses India's plan to interlink its rivers and the implications of this for water supply in other cobasin countries. It reviews risks and critical disadvantages, then offers viable less-risky solutions for water resource development. It explores the possibility that the interlinking plan is economically prohibitive, fraught with uncertainties, and has potentially disastrous and irreversible adverse after-effects. It then discusses reducing water deficit through improved water management without large-scale engineering interventions.
