Answer 2

The socio-economic advantages of interlinking the rivers in India are as follows -

• Better transportation : The interlinking of the rivers will create new riverine routes for water transportation which is both economically and socially beneficial for our country in many ways.

• Better irrigation : The interlinking of the rivers will create more area for riverine irrigation which is beneficial for an agricultural country like India.

• Flood control : The riverine floods can be controlled by the interlinking of the rivers because the floodwater will get divided through the interlinked routes in the various parts of the interlinked rivers and the chances of flooding in a particular region will be decreased.
