What is the necessity of Inter-linking of Rivers? |
|
Answer» The distribution of rainfall in India is highly uneven and seasonal. The Himalayan rivers are perennial while the peninsular rivers are seasonal. During rainy season, much of the water is lost in floods and wasteful flow into the sea. But in other seasons there is scarcity of water. Even in India some parts gets more rainfall and some other parts get very low rainfall. The problems of floods and drought can be minimized through the interriver linkages or through national water grid, under which water from one river basin can be transferred to another river basin for optimum utilization. ’ |
