Abstract

Efficiency of resource use is a key to sustaining success in industrial development and such efficiency can be achieved only on the basis of sound environmental management. Today the green mantle of this maiden lies in tatters, the sandal paste has all but vanished. As one flies over these hills one does see remnants of the original great forest, but extensive tracts lie barren. The hills are now bedecked with numerous lakes where rivers have been impounded to create reservoirs. It would, of course, be right if many of the remnants of the forest were protecting the catchments of these reservoirs. But, in fact, exactly the opposite is true. It is in the catchments of the reservoirs that deforestation has progressed the furthest, hastening erosion of soil, silting up the water bodies, reducing their life and usefulness.
