The programme of Interlinking of Rivers (ILR) in India has been one
of the most ambitious ideas ever, of any government till date. It
is an idea that has conjured up visions for the common Indian - of
a country free from floods and droughts, and people in Tamil Nadu
tasting the sweet waters of the holy Ganges. Such images of passion
and emotion contrasted together with the recurring floods and
droughts in various parts of the country have helped those in power
to sell the dream of river linking to the people. Backed by the
Supreme Court judgement and a supportive and a strong advocate of
the project, the President of India, the NDA government went all
out to promote and get this project initiated. The present UPA
government is also taking forward this idea. The book is one of the
first attempts in India to look at the river linking project from a
rational and well researched perspective. It is not a one sided
view; care has been taken to analyse the project in an unbiased
way. The book throws up various pros and cons associated with the
project, and also gives insights into how such projects can be
analysed. On the Ken-Betwa link, various experts have pointed out
the gaps in the prefeasibility report, where further work needs to
be done, and what needs to be taken into consideration when such
projects are planned.
