May 2010Key words: Big Dams, Irrigation, Canals, Rainfed Agriculture, Reservoirs, SRI, WCD, Groundwater
Key words: Hydropower, Generation, India, Peaking power, Design power, Performance April 2010- Workshop:
Rivers, People and Climate Change in South Asia
When: WEDNESDAY 21 April 2010
Time: 2-5 pm.
Where: Room: 313, Indian Social Institute, New Delhi
Organised by the India Climate Justice Group
As part of the Assembly towards a Union of South Asian Peoples (22-23 April)
The
impacts of climate change on rivers in South Asia are being felt in
multiple ways: glacial melting, flash floods, landslides, droughts and
intermittent rainfall – all of this entails severe consequences for
people and the environment. Despite this serious threat, Governments in
South Asia are continuing with a cavalier business as usual attitude.
Several massive dams, diversions and hydro projects are being
constructed or are in the planning stages in Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan,
Bangladesh and India. The increased involvement of the private sector in
hydro power and other water related projects in the region is likely to
further compound the problem.
We foresee several flashpoints such as the Himalayan region, Indus Basin and North East India.
This
workshop will not only discuss the current scenario, but more
importantly address the urgent need for a people and ecology centred
approach that will help in creating accord rather than discord over
rivers in the region. (For more details see attached concept note)
Speakers include:
Himanshu Thakkar (South Asia Network on Dams Rivers and Peoples)
Ravindranath (River Basin Friends)
Medha Bisht (Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses)
Rezaul Karim Chowdhury (Equity and Justice Working Group)
Speaker from Pakistan
Speaker from Nepal–TBC
Speaker from Himalaya Niti Abhiyan
Moderator: Rohan D Souza (Jawaharlal Nehru University)
