Growth impacts of development and management of water resources

  • Malik, R. P. S.
Abstract
The paper presents the hypothesis that investments in development and management of water resources impacts all round growth - not only in the sectors and regions impacted directly by the availability of water but also in sectors and regions impacted indirectly by the availability of water. The indirect economic impacts can be as large as the direct economic impacts and therefore evaluating growth impacts of water resources projects based solely on the direct impacts can seriously underestimate the true growth impacts. The author supports the hypothesis by analyzing the Bhakara Nangal Project in terms of the direct and indirect economic and developmental impacts it has on the economy at large, including all sections of society, including the poor.Length: pp.858-869
