    Case Study On Dams

    Neel Tamhane
    This document summarizes and compares four major dam projects in India: Sardar Sarovar Dam, Pong Dam, Tehri Dam, and Bhakra Nangal Dam. For each dam, it provides the location and key causes of conflict arising from the project's construction, particularly relating to displacement of wildlife, tribes, and communities without adequate rehabilitation. The main issues involved loss of habitat and culture for displaced tribes, as well as failures to properly resettle or provide for over 14,000 families affected by the Pong Dam and thousands more impacted by subsequent dams.

    Pong dam
    Situated at: beas river in himachal pradesh in 1960. water was harnessed to irrigate rajasthan. Cause of conflict: out of 30,000 families uprooted, only 14,000 were considered eligible for allotment, as they were bonafide cultivators and for them 2.25 lakh acre of land was earmarked. And when asked that what happened to the rest 14,000 families, then there was no answer.

    Tehri dam
    Situated at: bhagirathi river in tehri town. Cause of conflict: The immediate effect of tehri dam would be on 10,000 residents of tehri town. And the rehabilitation was the burning issue. Issues on tehri dams geological stability: The Tehri dam is located in the Central Himalayan Seismic Gap, a major geologic fault zone. This region was the site of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake in October 1991, with an epicenter 500 kilometres (310 mi) from the location of the dam.

    Bhakra nangal dam


    Situated at: sutlej river in bhakra village in bilaspur village of himachal pradesh. Cause of conflict: It was constructed during 1950s and till now it has not been possible to rehabiliate even half of the persons displaced. Reduced water flow downstream during dry seasons and high water in the dam during unusual wet seasons are both current challenges.
