Description

Taming the Anarchy explores the transformation of South Asia's water management systems from colonial-era centrally managed canal irrigation to today's fragmented groundwater extraction landscape. Written by Tushaar Shah and published by Routledge, this book traces how the orderly irrigation economy that once protected millions of rural poor from droughts has evolved into a vast, unregulated system of dispersed tube-wells operating without permits or oversight. The work examines both the development of this chaotic groundwater situation and realistic pathways to bring it under control, offering critical insights into the governance challenges facing India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as they navigate competing water demands and sustainability concerns.

Key Features

Routledge publication providing scholarly analysis of groundwater governance challenges across India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Examines the historical shift from centrally managed canal irrigation infrastructure established during the British colonial period to modern decentralised tube-well systems.

Authored by Tushaar Shah, offering expert perspective on the development of groundwater chaos and control mechanisms.

Addresses the consequences of unregulated groundwater extraction on rural communities and agricultural sustainability in South Asia.
