Medha Patkar (R), leader of the Narmada Bachao Andolan (Movement to save the Narmada),
along with villagers protest against the construction of the Sardar Sarovar dam project
in the central Indian city of Bhopal September 5, 2000. Although the Sardar
Sarovar dam project is billed as the solution to chronic water shortages in the
state's dry regions, the activists say the project would submerge large areas
of land and displace thousands. REUTERS
