From the Foreword: "In this compilation work, a geological evaluation of various project components has been made. The major problems encountered during feasibility assessment to construction stages have been discussed in some detail. The various procedures adopted for tackling such problems have also been outlined. This significant compilation work will definitely act as a future guide to the geo-scientists and civil engineers in handling upcoming Hydro-Power Projects in similar geological conditions."
