Summary: On the ecological disturbances especially related to floods in Orissa under British rule; a study. "India, in many ways, makes a compelling case for studies on the linkages between water histories, hydraulic technologies, and politics. Whether it is inter-state river dispute, ground water extraction by private corporations, farmer agitations for irrigation water or urban anxieties over meeting water requirements, the water question in India has several contentious dimensions. Drowned and Dammed comprehensively reconsiders the debate on the colonial environmental watershed and its hydraulic legacy. It also questions the enthusiasm for flood control in post-independent India."--BOOK JACKET. Contents 1. Delta's integrity and agrarian rhythm 1. Delta's integrity and agrarian rhythm 2. Capitalist property and the 'calamity of season' 3. Embankments and its discontents 4. Delta in the commodity-form 5. The great denouement and after 6. Production of the river.
