Main Body
A) Interlinking of Indian rivers was first proposed by S. Aditya Collen in Sidle Earihow costed Rs 5,60,000 crore. The earlier New-Bhava linked project (KBLP)
Interlinking Projects of India:
1Ken-Betwa link:
Supply in Ken to deficit in Betwa
Working Bundelhkand in between
2Rembei-Velshn - Chambel project (CT-M):
Supply → Kalisindh-Forbesi to deficit → Bainpume - Brahmi rivers of Chambei
3Taffy Maeg Heritage Ram project -s/MAH (MP)
Benefits of Interlinking:
1Water distribution equitable - Historically left Bundelhkand coping water stress → (KBLP) helping slaker slither unken concern.
2Boost agri productivity in country by user's thought pone pragma.
3Flood management - Diversity men, flood token to drought prone cases. Disaster risk reduction.
4Promote biodiversity in wetland areas.
5Buffer against climate change via mitigation visibility inclocess (CEC), S.D, District Verriculaty,
Conclusive linked to stray-thinking:
(i) Socio-economic:
1High investment - ₹44,000 crore for USJP → Consolidated costed
2Shifting and variable member pattern by can lead to exacerbate, flood/drought conclusion.
3Outdoored information in issues in can → can lead to drought if KBP coured Harbour.
ii) Environmental:
1Climate blackout → can lead to climate untoriabilities (like Massey Botjis, Lem) (Austrafe) geo-engineering → given Herr alighted
2Submergence of biodiversity - (L07) [Eco-tourism] with Kelend - forbei link.
3Habitat disruption - Misuse geo, engine, in Honda (Red to less of wetlands) Thus, although living-Interlinkity Offers benefit, a holistic solution. Would be to adopt local based watershed projects → like Tana's and Tulsi (Rejection).
