Answer 2

Answer:

• Narmada Bachao Andolan and the Tehri dam andolan, etc., were the movements to resist large-scale displacement of local communities . Local people often had tp give up their land , livelihood and their control  over resources for the greater good of nation.
• Irrigation has changed the cropping pattern from shifting to commercial crops . It is responsible for salinisation of the soil. At same time , it has  its social impact by increasing the social gap between the rich landowners and the landless poor.
• Dams also created conflicts between people wanting different uses and benefits from the same water resource. In Gujarat, the Sabarmati basin farmers were agitated over the priority given to supply in urban area's, particularly during droughts.
