Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 196 Pages. Light wear to covers. Interior text pages are flawless. The Narmada Dams project is going to be India's greatest man-made environmental disaster. Funded by the World Bank, the project will uproot over a million people, most of them tribals, depriving them of their homes and their livelihood. It will also submerge 350,000 hectares of forest, leading to the extinction of valuable plant species and the mass slaughter of wildlife. The authors, who had access to official documents related to the project, give a detailed study of the dams' impact, and expose the large-scale manipulation and fraud that led to the approval of the project. Also included are exclusive interviews with top officials of the Narmada Valley Development Authority, one of whom has already joined opponents to the dams. The Third World Network is a grouping or organizations and individuals involved in Third World and development issues. The Asia-Pacific People's Environment Network is a network of organizations and individuals involved in the Asia-Pacific region involved in environmental issues. (Note: By 2017 many of these dams have been completed and indeed many of the controversial issues remain.).
