So much of Gravity Head is available that Pure Waters from J&K, H.P., UTTRAKHAND, U.P. and NE States can be PIPED to reservoirs in plains up to thousands of KM away ! Interconnection of River Systems can transform Agriculture in a major way.
Yes,So what is the problem to connect Indian Rivers together.If this happens our Country will Change.The villages of 98 districts will be flourished and more problems of other districts with shortage of water will be over.India .There will be trees ,Flowers,Birds,Animals,.The heat will be reduced.How beautiful and fertile our Country We have to work for this Prosperety.
Ramkumar ... I think the problem is institutional not technical. The world has a great deal of technical knowledge about water quality and interconnectedness and management. The shortage I see is taking a creative, integrated approach to ecosystem management at the landscape scale. And that challenge is even more pronounced when the landscape is as huge as the Ganga. I see the solution (or progress toward one) as being capacity development at the watershed or catchment scale, with institutional development to draw together finer scale units.
Simple answer is that there is multiplicity of Authorities and no single authority who could be responsible and hence accountable for loss of Surface run offs, Floods, Drought relief, use of precious waters for exploitation and recharge of aquifers and for tapping surface waters from Lakes and River systems. Bureaucracy and Government, both do not have experienced technocrats and public opinion is fragmented across states and not integrated for national good.
We've had 100 years of experience with some of the trade-offs here in California. Issues include changing riverine, estuarine, and offshore food chain algal production and species composition increasing harmful algal blooms, changing zooplankton productivity through changing invasive species dominating the food chain, changing the fish community, particularly for anadramous species, and changing the abundance of birds and marine mammals that depend on those fish for food.
There is a significant impact in implementing an inter-connection between those river systems. If you need more information maybe we could talk about it through skype or FT.
