More accidents at dam sites
|
23.10.2007 |
India Together - Environment |
Bureaucratic control of river flow by a single agency is responsible for recurring disasters.
The management of ageing dams is driven by fear as much as anything else, and this in turn causes other risks.

The other side of the dam
|
12.9.2007 |
India Together - Environment |
With the damming of the rivers has come a great wave of unaccountable administration. Waters are held back without warning, and released without
warning. In both cases, there is little time for the affected communities to react.

Here a breach, there a breach

28.8.2007 |

Incidents of cracks, breaches and outright collapse of dams have been reported often in the last few years. But the country's water resources
establishment maintains an ad-hoc attitude, responding to each disaster as it unfolds, often to little effect.

Increasingly, one finds that project proponents are mounting a range of arguments to plead for the reduction of, or outright exemption from
bearing such costs.
