Joining Rivers To Save Our Future:
Interlinking of rivers:
Interlinking of rivers is a topic that has been discussed and debated for several years as a possible permanent solution to the water crisis in India.
The process involves joining rivers by tunnels and canals. This is a brilliant way of sharing water of rivers to combat droughts, floods and power shortage due to water scarcity.
How interlinking of rivers works:
When a river in a particular region is over flooded by heavy rainfall, the water will flow through the tunnels and canals to the rivers where there is water scarcity due to droughts. This will prevent flood in one region and make water available in regions affected by drought. Since the water level or volume is restored from regions of heavy rainfall, the power supply will not be affected by water shortage. Industries will not lack power and cultivation can continue.
The three primary advantages of interlinking rivers in favour of the scheme are:
(1) droughts will never occur
(2) there will be no more floods in the major rivers and
(3) an additional 30,000 MW of hydropower will be generated.
Conclusion:
India is not a water deficit country. She is blessed with many rivers and seasonal rainfall. The problem lies in unequal distribution of water by climatic and geographical conditions.
The joining of rivers will save life, prevent floods and droughts, provide constant power, and prevent lost of crops to droughts and floods. This is a pragmatic and long-term scheme. It will solve India's problems caused by either lack of rainfall or too much rainfall. It is a solution necessary for the present and also for the future generations.
