Scientists can ease dam issues : NEC
The Telegraph | Jorhat, Dec. 20:
Addressing the inaugural session of a symposium on “Scientific Intervention for Societal Development’ at the CSIR North East Institute of Science and Technology auditorium here today, Shrivastava said the Northeast could lead the country in production of hydroelectric power. “With over 70 per cent hills, which range from 500 to 5,000 metres, the region can become a national powerhouse and provide the cleanest power,” he said.
Referring to the issue of big dams like the Lower Subansiri project, Shrivastava said despite everything being ready for generation, work had stopped as the issue had “become political in nature.” “Scientists can intervene and spread the message that a huge body of water can be released in ways so as not to cause damage and there are ways to build a large dam without the threat of it breaking down,” he said.
