The Dilemma of Interlinking Indian Rivers
Overview
The proposed scheme of Interlinking Indian rivers has taken the centre stage because of the social and economic impacts expected to be delivered, once implemented. Proponents speak about achieving food security, economic prosperity, while opponents claim that there will be serious disadvantages of the project in relation to the environment and others. This Policy Options Note makes an attempt to raise the issue of inefficient governance structure and policy imbalance in the water sector, which might hamper the successful implementation of the scheme.
