Full Description
This book draws on interdisciplinary research deploying 'river rights' and 'water justice' as conceptual frameworks to engage with laws and politics around waterbodies. It underlines the simultaneity of micro and macro aspects to make sense of the complexities around 'river rejuvenation' in India.
This book engages with different ideas of rejuvenation, illuminating what goes under the name of rejuvenation, its impacts on the environment and communities dependent on rivers for their livelihood. At the micro level, several case studies offer a framework for understanding the reasons behind dying/degenerating small rivers across the country. At the macro-level, several chapters engage with the impact of laws, policies and role of community in river conservation. The volume also highlights the ongoing programmes such as Namami Mission for Clean Ganga and riverfront development projects.
The book will be useful to students, researchers, and teachers in the field of Water Resources, Water Supply, Management of Climate-Induced Disasters, Development Studies, Law, Politics and Ecology. It will also be an invaluable companion to policy makers, general administrators, civil society organizations, media persons, and bilateral agencies like WHO, UNICEF, UNDP, UNEP, World Bank and Gates Foundation.
