Indian Rivers Inter-link

[jaiind]

In 1972 the then Minister for Irrigation K. L. Rao proposed a 2640 kilometer long link between the Ganges and Kaveri rivers. In 1974 plans were proposed for the 'Garland canal'. In 1982 the National Water Development Agency was set up to carry out surveys of the links and prepare feasibility studies.

I wasnt born at that time mate. I know about this project during NDA tenure.

Kerala state will oppose Pamba-Achankovil-Vaippar link ,first thing there is no surplus water in the west flowing rivers of Kerala and any diversion of water will affect the socio-cultural, ecological and environmental aspects of the State

None of the maps show the rivers of Kashmir being interconnected to rest of the river grid.. I wonder why this has been left out..

Just being Good Boys & keeping the Given Words....

If the goodness of heart is not being reciprocated across the border, why do we have to be obliged to keep our part of the deal?

 

[notsuperstitious]

I'm all for this project, however thanks to the traitors ruling india and their populism for winning elections, we may not have enough money to meet the desperate need of infra investment for years and years to come

Stop lying, Chinese are also building dam on Brahmaputra, why won't that dry up BD.

And for drying up BD.

If we dry up BD, we will have more illegal migration problem. I am sure we do not want that.

Best to provide enough water to BD to keep their citizens insider their geographical boundaries.

BD has to pay for the burden which Indian economy is facing due to illegal immigrants from BD

If we had commenced work on the project in the 70s it would have cost a mere $14 billion. Now it's about $140 billion!

We Indians lack foresight and planning! Period!

Water is very sensitive topic and extreme care should be taken while taking any plan to building dams let alone diverting a whole river. Even if you just ignore the affect it will have existing Eco-system, lower riparian states will be adversely affected from diverting water from upstream. I'm sure West Bengal will oppose any such plan of connecting Ganges to South India rivers.

In 70's spending 14 billion USD (22% of GDP) was tougher than spending $140 billion today(8% of GDP )...
