For Egypt’s Aswan Dam, which harnessed the Nile floods, or Ghana’s Akosombo Dam, which flooded an area of the country the size of Lebanon, they amounted to a fundamental remaking of the geography of the country.
The declared aim of the dam is to provide water for irrigation in the desert region of Gujarat state.
Most dams and other river-engineering projects are construction boondoggles that fail to deliver what they promise and cause huge damage to ecological systems and human livelihoods.
The DamBusters is a 1954 British war film, set during World War II, and documenting the true story of the RAF's 617 Squadron, the development of the "bouncing bomb", and Operation Chastise - the attack on the Ruhr dams in Germany.
These scenes were cut from ITV's last showing of The DamBusters after their previous broadcast received complaints for the use of the word nigger.
The film's theme tune, The DamBusters' March, by Eric Coates became an instant classic for brass band and can still be heard in football grounds during England Football Team matches.
