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.Water Resources Development and Management,1614-810XSustainable developmentEconomic geographyEnvironmental managementEnvironmental economicsHydrologyEthnologySustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Environmental Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Social Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12030Sustainable development.Economic geography.Environmental management.Environmental economics.Hydrology.Ethnology.Sustainable Development.Economic Geography.Environmental Management.Environmental Economics.Hydrology/Water Resources.Social Anthropology.333.9114Scudder Thayerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut79916BOOK9910350345703321Large Dams2232953UNINA
