Farmers, Pani Panchayat members, village youth and women in the Sason Command have shared their critical insights with us and sincerely helped us during our field visits. No words can express our heartfelt acknowledgement for their support. All those who participated in and helped us organise the three stakeholder consultations deserve our utmost appreciation for educating us by sharing their perspectives. We have also gained immensely from the different meetings and rallies we attended and our interactions with farmers, fishermen, villagers, journalists, citizen forums and civil society well wishers.

One of the objectives of the Odisha State Resource Centre of the Forum, established at the Baitarani Initiative, Shristi, Bhubaneswar in 2008 in collaboration with the Odisha Water Forum was to engage with the conflicts around the Hirakud dam, especially the industry-agriculture conflict, through action research aimed at contributing towards methodologies and raising awareness for conflict resolution. This action research report is the output of more than three years of that engagement. It maps the variegated issues contributing to the water conflicts around the Hirakud reservoir, brings together the response of policy makers and stakeholders, and suggests options and methodologies for initiating and creating preconditions for resolving the conflict. The Hirakud dam in Odisha has been viewed as a symbol of India’s post- independence developmentalism. The recent conflict is largely seen as one between the farmers in the Hirakud command and the Government of Odisha over the allocation of water from the reservoir to industries. However, the water conflicts around Hirakud are more complex. They are part of a classic contestation over natural resources in fast-developing countries with neoliberal policies pushing reforms and favouring industries and the market, while local communities struggle to maintain their livelihoods and institutions. Objectives and Methodology The main objective of the action research was to engage with conflicts around the Hirakud dam, study their inter-relations, and contribute to methodologies for resolving the conflict and raising awareness. The Odisha State Centre of the Forum proposed to do this by interfacing with local civil society groups, social movements and other stakeholders, bringing them together, understanding the other interconnected conflicts around the Hirakud dam, learning from the experience, and raising awareness about the issues. The methodologies deployed for data collection included data collection from secondary sources, reviews, primary field surveys and observations, in depth interviews and Focussed Group Discussions (FGD) with stakeholders and groups as well as ethnographic studies. Secondary data has been collected from news articles, research papers, government reports/archives, legislations, government policies and other archival data relevant for the project and discussions with experts. Stakeholder dialogues, workshops and consultation and presentations iii were utilised for exploring stakeholder perceptions about the conflicts around Hirakud and their resolution.

    The Forum and Its Work The Forum (Forum for Policy Dialogue on Water Conflicts in India) is a dynamic initiative of individuals and institutions that has been in existence for the last ten years. Initiated by a handful of organisations that had come together to document conflicts and supported by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), it has now more than 250 individuals and organisations attached to it. The Forum has completed two phases of its work, the first centring on documentation, which also saw the publication of ‘Water Conflicts in MAHANADI RIVER BASIN India: A Million Revolts in the Making’, and a second phase where conflict documentation, conflict resolution and prevention were the core activities. Presently, the Forum is in its third phase where the emphasis of on backstopping conflict resolution. Apart from the core activities like documentation, capacity building, dissemination and outreach, the Forum would be intensively involved in A Situation Analysis right to water and sanitation, agriculture and industrial water use, environmental flows in the context of river basin management and groundwater as part of its thematic work. The Right to water and sanitation component is funded by WaterAid India. Arghyam Trust, Bangalore, which also funded the second phase, continues its funding for the Forums work in its third phase.
