Foul waters
Issue Date: Mar 31, 2000
fresh water is, perhaps, the most important of all natural resources affected by uncontrolled economic growth. In large parts of India, people face scarcity of water for both drinking and irrigation purposes. Take the case of Tamil Nadu. There are 34 river basins in Tamil Nadu.

Issue Date: Nov 30, 1998

sustainable development.
