Large DamsLong Term Impacts on Riverine Communities and Free Flowing Rivers /[electronic resource] :by Thayer Scudder. - 1st ed. 2019. - XXVIII, 284 p. 40 illus., 39 illus. in color.online resource. - Water Resources Development and Management,1614-810X. - Water Resources Development and Management,.

Introduction of the Book -- 1956-1973: I Believe Large Dams Provide An Exceptional Opportunity For Integrated River Basin Development -- 1976-1995: The International Research Activities of the Institute for Development Anthropology and Increasing Concerns About The Environmental and Socio-Economic Costs of Large Dams for Free Flowing Rivers and River Basin Communities -- My Increasing Disillusionment with The Planning, Implementation, Monitoring, and Evaluation of Large Dams Especially as Illustrated by The World Bank-The Largest and Most Influential Financier of Large Dams -- Postscript In Search of a Career and Myself.

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.
