What are the issues with dams on Ganga. Here is the comprehensive presentation for the same.

1. Ganga The national river – Now a disappearing river

10. Dried water sourcees – after effects of Maneri Bhali 2 These are dried water sources in Deoli

12. Case of Visnugad power project - Joshimath

13. Chai gaon - Joshimath

15. Decreased production of electricity

20. The RTI’s enquiring the Glacier study In 2006 – the study was given to NIH In 2007 – it was not completed/ submitted by NIH In 2009 – it was declared that the need for the study has been withdrawn long back

22. Excessive blasting – cracks – Therang – site for LHP Power house

24. Dried water sources – Loharinag-Pala HURI Completely dried sources: Pangraya khal Nargad There were 7 water mills that used to run in the village, now only 1 SALANG Out of many sources of water, only 1-2 are left

30. Muck dumping in Ganga

34. Uncontrolled Blasting at Loharinag Pala & cracks in villages in vicinity

36. Based on the study it is pretty clear that the loss incurred by the entire village outweighs the projected gain by the NTPC. For the remaining many years the land that is lost to the project will bear the pain & the damage is irreparable & incomparable.
