EcoLur - Doesn’t the SHPP disturb your irrigation water?

Hermon villager - Of course during the summer, there is water shortage.

EcoLur -So does it impact on your agriculture product?

Villager -

If there is shortage of irrigation water, we can’t water the harvest, it will dry up and we can’t use it.

EcoLur - Are social programs being implemented in your community?

Villager - No nothing.

EcoLur - Has the sanitary situation changed?

Villager -It is obvious, if there is shortage of water, it will be dirty.

EcoLur -Is there any fish in the river?

Villager -We have neither seen it nor eaten it.

EcoLur - Have you get promises before they built it?

Villager -No nothing.

EcoLur -If they built another SHPP what will you claim?

Villager -At least to discount electricity for our village. In that case people will pay at least 30 percent of the amount.
