Dear All

It is the right decision to move forward with the interlinking of Rivers in our Country. Every year, all the stakeholders talks about the water crises, droughts, pollution, floods and its consequences.

Our experts have accepted to go for:

£ Rainwater Harvesting

£ Development of Watersheds and Recharge Wells

£ Evaluation and Monitoring of sources of Pollution and

£ Interlinking of Rivers.   

To some extent, the first three have taken some momentum and able create significant impact both for the people as well as to the environment. This works with limited way in the case management of floods.

The other alternative left in our hands is INTERLINKING OF RIVERS. In may results for some disadvantages but at the same time, while comparing the expected advantages o long term basis it is insignificant and most of these can be minimized by adopting suitable interventions at the right time.     

With all the expected advantages and disadvantages, we all should support and contribute for the interlinking of rivers for creating better access for water resources which certainly enhances our production for the health and wealth of the people and environment which further leads to become developed country with better Food Security.

Looking forward for better sharing and support in creating better Food Security and to transform as Developed Country....

All the Best
