Dr. Dave Martin, Fulbright-Nehru Research Scholar

During the 2012-2013 academic year, Dr. Martin will be a Fulbright-Nehru Research Scholar at the Institute of Economic Growth, which is part of the University of Delhi in New Delhi, India. Since September 2004 the water of the Gambhir River (a seasonal river in Rajasthan, India) has been impounded behind the Panchana Dam 100 kilometers upstream of Keoladeo National Park (KNP), which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as a Ramsar wetland due to its attraction to migratory waterfowl. Unless the monsoon rains are very good, both KNP and the farmers downstream of Panchana are deprived of the river's natural flow by that impounding.  His research will focus on comparing the value of the water to the upstream farmers to the value of letting the water flow to KNP and the downstream farmers.
