Description

This book highlights the first comparative long-term analysis of the negative impacts of large dams on riverine communities and on free-flowing rivers in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Following the Foreword by Professor Asit K. Biswas, the first section covers the 1956–1973 period, when the author believed that large dams provided an exceptional opportunity for integrated river basin development. In turn, the second section (1976–1997) reflects the author’s increasing concerns about the magnitude of the socio-economic and environmental costs of large dams, while the third (1998–2018) discusses why large dams are in fact not cost-effective in the long term. Review “I enjoyed reading this book. It is well-written and intellectually stimulating. As an emerging scholar in large dams, I found this book very useful, particularly as it engages in a timeline of 60 years. It promises to be a good guide to my own planned long-term studies of large dams in Southern Africa.” (Joshua Matanzima, Water International, August 24, 2020) From the Back Cover This book highlights the first comparative long-term analysis of the negative impacts of large dams on riverine communities and on free-flowing rivers in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
