Decommissioning dams in India: a comparative assessment of Mullaperiyar and other cases
2013

Drawing on other examples of dam breakdown and decommissioning cases from India and the USA, the author argues that dams that have failed to deliver on their promises or are in an unsafe condition should be selectively decommissioned.
