what objections ever been raised against multipurpose river valley projects
Answers
hey mate here's ur answer ,
1. Exaggerated Benefits on Irrigation:
It has been argued that irrigation benefits derived out of multi-purpose projects are exaggerated because the actual area irrigated by these projects is much less due to delay in the construction of field channels and water routes. Moreover delay in completion of these projects has resulted in high escalation of its cost.
2. Higher Cost of Hydropower:
Although hydro power is having the advantage of low operating cost, renewable source and eco-friendly but at the same time it is also subjected to long gestation period, delay in commissioning the project resulting escalation of project cost and higher initial cost. All these have resulted in a comparatively higher unit cost of generation in respect of hydro power.
3. Least Flood Control Benefit:
The multi-purpose projects have also failed to derive maximum benefit in respect of flood control as the embankments, drainage channels and flood protection schemes have failed miserably to achieve results.
