"The overview and detailed insights provided in this book make it very important, timely and informative. The examples are wide ranging and the analysis critical. Professionals responsible for the technical and environmental outcomes of dam construction will find the material up to date and relevant. Those needing to know about social and livelihood impacts of large infrastructures will be especially assisted by the analysis." – Professor Tony Allan, King’s College London and the School of Oriental and African Studies London
"Dams are an important temporary solution to the management of water resources and the generation of energy. Perhaps their highest initial cost is the cost of resettlement. This carefully researched volume examines that cost in detail. It is essential reading for policymakers involved in decisions about new dam construction." – Michael Menaker, PhD, Commonwealth Professor, University of Virginia.
