In a land where rivers have been both lifelines and battlegrounds, Liquid Lifelines delves into India's ambitious River Interlinking Project. This initiative, aimed at tackling the dual crisis of floods and droughts, promises economic growth and water security. But at what cost? Through a compelling blend of historical context, scientific analysis, and personal narratives, this book investigates the environmental, social, and political ramifications of reshaping India's water systems. As communities grapple with displacement, environmentalists raise alarms about ecosystem disruptions, and policymakers struggle to strike a balance, Liquid Lifelines presents a multifaceted look at the project that could redefine India's future.
