certainly there are advantages and disadvantages to building a dam, and a government would not embark on such a large scale project through only corruption. i need more evidence to substantiate the claims made. hardkorn 01:57, 24 October 2005 (UTC)hardkorn[reply]

I have just added photo (from "Geography of India" wiki page) and the link to the aforementioned page. IMO now this page looks a bit more lively. --Volphy 19:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed a part of sentence " led by ....Narendra Modi.." because there is no need to add a political POV here.Bharatveer 09:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC) yoh what is up!!![reply]


I think we should include only geographical and cultural aspects of the river. more over mridul's added section as well as other are lacking in citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.83.145 (talk) 17:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Total revision of the article

[edit]

This article needs substantial revision in view of lot of developments which have taken place in the basin. Mridul's article needs to be subsumed in the main article since no names of authors are to included in the main article as part of Wikipedia policy. Can I totally change the presenation of this article, but of course suitably incorporating the material which is already presented till date? While in Govt. service, I have been involved for long years with the development of the basin as also the controversy (was in the thick of it in the 90s) which plagued the Saradar Sarovar Project for several years (fortunatley it has been resolved by the Supreme Court judgement now and the project is progressing satisfactorily). As regards including extent of information in the article, it should be be comprehesive as a basin which is an integral part of the river.Ys --Nvvchar (talk) 10:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Revision required

[edit]

Agree, this article looks more like a someone personal bulletin board —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kedar Borhade (talk • contribs) 10:59, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


20 more such projects

[edit]

Agree Sir. The Article does not mention anything in strong wordings about human 'displacement'.

Developed world projects on precious rivers and basins move on time. You should really pick this up before that.

Narmada River Development

[edit]

There is so much information on this one aspect of the river; it reads almost like a brochure for the project. Perhaps it would be an idea to include a paragraph in this article, and move the rest of the information to a separate page dealing just with the development?

Narmada Parikrama - Great way! -

[edit]

Narmada Parikrama is one of the oldest tradition - almost 7000 years back Markandeya Rishi performed Narmada Parikrama. You will perhaps not believe that Markandeya Rishi performed Great Prakrima of Narmada River for 27 years. He did not cross stream of Narmada River also he did not crossed stream of any river - in all 999 rivers - merging Narmada. I have lot of information on this subject because I am one of lucky person, I could perform Narmada Parikrama covering 2700 kilometers of distance on foot. I have written a book 'Narmade Har | Har Narmade' detailing account of Narmada Parikrama which concluded in 123 days. Yes, This book is in Marathi language.This book hard/soft copy is available on bookganga.com

Reference to the recent study by NEUSS has been added. This is a thorough study of the Sanskrit sources, and a first class piece of research.--Shirazibustan (talk) 12:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Shirazibustan[reply]

Public Domain ~1916 image of pilgrims at river

[edit]

If anyone wants it, there's a PD image entitled Pilgrims carrying water of the river Nerbudda in this book: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22010/22010-h/22010-h.htm MatthewVanitas (talk) 00:51, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bhimbetka caves.

[edit]

These caves are not really part of the Narmada river valley. They are in the hills high above the valley proper. The caves rightly have their own article. Somebody coming here to read a general encyclopedia article on the Narmada is not really going to gain much from knowing the caves are nearby. It therefore seems appropriate to remove this material and focus instead on the anthroplogical data from the valley itslef.

Narmada Mining scam

[edit]

The article should also talk about the illegal mining. Source नर्मदा में अवैध खनन होते दिखे तो भेज सकते हैं फोटो --DBigXray 16:44, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

[edit]

@SpunkyGeek Thanks for adding some citations to help improve this article, but some of the references that were added don't look like reliable sources. For example:

While these two [1] [2] are reliable they only mention some of the information noted in the article and to use it as a citation for the entire section is original research. So feel free to update as appropriate based on the sources. Also, I'm a little confused could you explain why you added the date June 2019 to the citation needed tags? Eucalyptusmint (talk) 16:35, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eucalyptusmint
  1. We could remove those sources and find new ones, especially the first one Talentshare .
  2. Yeah, I agree we can look for a more reliable source for Kanha National Park.
  3. [1] is from a government website and hence can be considered a reliable source as it is apolitical (on this subject). And [2] is a reliable source and a credible news publication has published it.
  4. It might be a typo on my side on those tags. Apologies!
talk) 08:19, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, it happens. But regarding your first point, I did revert to the version before you added in the citations here [3], so they're removed. As far as #3, looks like we're in agreement that those sources are reliable, however the other issue that needs to be addressed is that the content needs to reflect what's written in those sources, to adhere to WP:OR and WP:V (which is why I had said feel free to update those sections as appropriate based on the source). Hoping this makes sense, let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 01:41, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Got it!. Would update the content too. talk) 03:25, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Narmada river development - Dams - Water dispute Merger

[edit]

Hello guys,

I am thinking to merge 3 sections: Narmada River development, Water Disputes, and Dams sections.

As dams are part of River development and water disputes are generally also part of dams, it does make sense to merge these sections and create a holistic section under Narmada River Development.

Please let me know if you've got any comments. SpunkyGeek (talk) 00:46, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Narmada river development section doesn't have much and can possibly be merged elsewhere. I think it might be more beneficial to just have a Dams section to be more consistent with other river articles. Eucalyptusmint (talk) 01:41, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dams, canals, etc. are part of the development policy for irrigation and agriculture. Hence, in this case, making it a subset of the Narmada River development section. See this(Ganga) for reference. SpunkyGeek (talk) 18:45, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine but maybe the section should be called Irrigation, like the Ganges article. In doing so it would also be in-line with MOS:SECTIONSTYLE. Alternatively, can also follow the rivers template which suggests that such sections be called River modifications and info about irrigation/agriculture could be placed under Economy.
