Description

Explore the complex transition of South Asia's water systems in Taming the Anarchy: Groundwater Governance in South Asia. Published by Routledge, this book examines the shift from the massive, centrally managed canal irrigation infrastructure inherited from the British India era to the current landscape of dispersed tube-wells. Author Tushaar Shah provides a detailed look at how the orderly irrigation economy that once protected millions from drought and famine has evolved into an atomistic system. This book analyzes how groundwater is now being extracted through widely dispersed tube-wells without permits or significant hindrances. Readers will gain insight into the development of this chaotic water usage and the various prospects for bringing these systems under control. This work is essential for those studying economic policy, development, and the environmental challenges facing India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh today.
