Yes AND No. If you can inter-link the rivers and still be able to prevent cross contamination in the event of a pollution disaster . . . yes. You must keep the water sources clean and if you can't do that in the event of a natural disaster . . . then NO.

Interlinking river in phases is a sound idea. Actually this would have taken up long back. When Dr. K L Rao then minister of State for Irrigation, he has almost drawn the plan similar to Tennesvaley scheme of states. It was nearly 30 years ago. But political vindictiveness made this scheme not only to be defered but lost his ministership as well. Had this been implemented by this time the India's demand for water for all purpose - agriculture, transportation, inland nagivation - would have been solved. Only now people raising their voices atleast link rivers within state. If this be done certainly there may not be famine nor flood in our country. The country is so gifted that there is plenty of water in all seasons in some or other parts of the terrain. This imbalnce if we could exploit we will be green always. There will be sand dunes but oasis in Thar desert.
A good idea and should be implemented at least by now.

Yes, it will solve many a problem - solves scarcity of water in summer, checks floods during monsoon, provides good means of transportation, helps generation of power, mitigates interstate water disputes and promotes intergration and integrity of the nation. A nation is not great unless it proves its greatness by doing great deeds. This interlinking of rivers, though technically not a big deal, requires lot of capital. But it is not beyond our economy which is really booming these years , with high growth rate and billion dollar takeovers. I don't want to dwell on that 30%- below- poverty-line as interlinking rather reduces that , even if some say it is misuse of much-needed capital. India can not be built in a day. But nobody denies its significance these days; it is no longer a nation of snake charmers, but that of charming personalities like Silpa Shetty. Ofcourse, nobody ever questions the quality of our brains unless he lost his. As we are bound to make rapid progress in the future, let's build some commemorative milestones on the way so that we can be pround of our achievements. However, we got to keep environmental issues in mind before we take up a venture on such a grand scale. Finally, we should go for grand ventures which are truly the monuments of a nation's commitment to progress.

its not as sound as people believe..every idea has its pros and cons..interlinking of rivers can cause more problems than just money..any way when so many children are out there starving,why should we waste our money and time linking rivers?its never advisable to interfere with nature.

Yes, really it is a very good idea. But, still we are a developing country. We don't have much capital source. So we cannot make out this plan at this juncture.

yes of course with lack of water prevailing in many regions it is actually a very gd idea to efficiently use the sources we have
