Anotácia knihy

That economic and industrial progress often impacts the environment adversely is not news. With rising urbanisation and increased material consumption, India is contributing dramatically to the degradation of its local environment, of which rivers form an integral part. This work focuses on the present condition of several Indian rivers, their various states of decline or health, and the factors that have had an effect on their well being. With contributions from academics hailing from both the social and natural sciences, along with essays from pollution control experts and activists/campaigners for rivers, this book seeks to illuminate the numerous causal factors that are critical for a deeper understanding of the deeply flawed attitudes and approaches towards the Indian environment. The essays as a whole make a plea for a healthy relationship with the countryas rivers, and for a radical re-examination of what constitutes true development.
