About the Book
The Kuhls of Kangra by J. Mark Baker is an important interdisciplinary study of traditional irrigation systems in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh. The book examines the kuhls—community-managed water channels that have played a crucial role in sustaining agriculture and rural livelihoods for centuries.
Drawing from history, anthropology, and political ecology, the author explores how these irrigation systems have adapted to environmental challenges, social change, and economic pressures. The work highlights the role of local institutions, cultural practices, and community cooperation in maintaining and managing shared natural resources.
This volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and readers interested in environmental studies, rural development, and sustainable resource management. It offers meaningful insight into traditional ecological knowledge and the resilience of community-based systems in India.
