It offers an analysis of the laws and infrastructure for environment protection in the country and its ineffectiveness in dealing with the water pollution which have had dire consequences on India's ecological landscape. The book, while highlighting the need and importance of industrial development, argues for sustainable measures to moderate and monitor such developmental efforts in the light of severe environmental degradations. Focusing on the state of Gujarat, it looks at published and un-published data on industrial development and water pollution levels and data obtained via applications filed under the Right to Information Act. It also offers a detailed account on the concentration of red industries which release the most hazardous pollutants and their effects on the environment. The authors look at the data from a theoretical and empirical perspective, offering insights into how the checks and balances levied by the state have been violated. They highlight the patterns and the trends which emerge from the study of these developmental efforts and underline the need to improve the effectiveness of policy instruments, and the need to diversify the existing mechanisms. The book will be of great interest to students and researchers of environment and development studies, public policy, sociology, law and governance, human ecology and economics"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIndustrialization$zIndia 606 $aWater$xPollution$zIndia 606 $aSustainable development$zIndia 615 0$aIndustrialization 615 0$aWater$xPollution 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a338.95407 700 $aBansal$b Neeru$01519926 702 $aParthasarathy$b R$g(Ranganathan),$f1958- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794224203321 996 $aAre SDGs a myth$93758306 997 $aUNINA
