Abstract: This essay studies the fecundity and distributional personalty of super irrigation dams in India. Our device uncertain estimates utilise the fact that river position affects a district’s quality for dams. In districts settled downstream from a dam, rural creation increases, and danger to downfall shocks declines. In contrast, rural creation shows an light process in the regularise where the barrier is settled but its irresolution increases. Rural impoverishment declines in downstream districts but increases in the regularise where the barrier is built, suggesting that neither markets nor land institutions hit mitigated the inauspicious distributional impacts of barrier construction.
