Summary, etc Living Rivers, Dying Rivers: A Quest Through India is a comprehensive collection of essays edited by Ramaswamy R. Iyer that examines the alarming decline of India's rivers and the urgent need for sustainable river management. The volume brings together experts from diverse fields to analyze the ecological, social, economic, and policy challenges affecting major river systems across the country. The book presents detailed case studies of important rivers such as the Ganga, Yamuna, Brahmaputra, Indus, Bagmati, Mahanadi, Godavari, Cauvery, and Narmada. It investigates issues including industrial and domestic pollution, excessive water extraction, dam construction, river-linking projects, hydropower development, encroachment of floodplains, and weak environmental governance. Alongside documenting environmental degradation, the contributors propose practical measures for restoring river ecosystems through integrated river basin management, stronger legal protection, improved public participation, and environmentally sustainable water policies. The volume serves as an important interdisciplinary reference for students, researchers, environmental planners, policymakers, civil engineers, geographers, and professionals working in water resources and environmental management. It provides both scientific analysis and policy recommendations for conserving India's rivers for future generations.
