In 1999, when thousands of displaced people were protesting the construction of Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada, farmers in Gujarat’s drought-prone areas were a happy lot. They dreamt of the green revolution the dam would usher and the prosperity it would unleash. They readily gave their fertile land to the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited (SSNNL) for an irrigation canal network, the third largest in the world. Nearly a decade and a half later, the canal gives them nightmares.
