Labour Intensive Technology in Water Resources Development--Indian Experience

摘要

India has been bestowed with substantial water resources. The construction of dams and the associated canal systems involving the investment of substantial funds afford an opportunity for providing employment opportunities for a large number of technical, non-technical, skilled and unskilled personnel. This can make a substantial contribution to the reduction in the unemployment situation in the country also in the construction phase. The present publication contains some of the experiences of engineers in the country on adoption of the labor intensive technology on a few water resources development projects.
