SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF DAMS
Mega-dams study has addressed a wide range of topics, including climate change aversion, political corruption, ideology/symbols of state construction, social repercussions such as displacement and relocation, and economic implications such as livelihood, electricity, and development infrastructure.
DETAILED EXPLAINATION OF SOCIO ECONOMIC IMPACT OF DAMS:
* The economic inquiry focused mostly on cost–benefit analysis, with few studies investigating the perspectives of local populations, who may be some of the primary benefactors.
* People's perceptions of the economic consequences of mega-dams are essential because they incorporate the attainment of goals, both those that have been reached and those that have yet to be realized, and so may be used as a guiding principle for behaviour and/or decision-making.
