About the Book
This book is a landmark ethnographic study of water management, rural development, and political ecology in South India. Based on extensive fieldwork, it examines how irrigation systems are shaped not only by technical and environmental factors but also by social relationships, political interests, and institutional structures.
The work explores the interaction between local communities, government agencies, and development programs, highlighting how water distribution, agricultural practices, and rural livelihoods are influenced by power dynamics and cultural norms. It provides deep insight into the realities of development projects and the gap between policy intentions and actual outcomes.
Written with scholarly depth and clarity, the book is an essential resource for students and researchers of anthropology, development studies, environmental studies, and rural sociology. It offers a valuable perspective on how natural resources are governed and managed within complex social and political contexts.
