World AffairsSummary: The Indian water resources sector is currently facing a number of controversies. One one side technological advances have optimised the use of the nation's scarce water resources. On the other, a fear syndrome has been created in the past two decades against River Valley Projects (RVPs) by exaggerating their likely or assumed adverse environmental impacts and by ignoring or suppressing their need and benefits. As a result, many such schemes have been blocked in regions which face acute water shortages, while the fury of floods continues to affect economic activities, causing a large-scale loss of life, property, flora and fauna. - Reproduced.
