Water Resources Should Be Nationalized

WATER RESOURCES SHOULD BE NATIONALISED India is

one country united by various states to have peace within, we
should live together by sharing our wants with each other. Surplus
should be shared. Every state has dispute in sharing water
resources with its neighbouring state.

Then and there problem arising between peoples of two states.

They are not allowing neighbouring state vehicles to enter into
their state. We have enough water from nature but we tend to
overuse or misuse it.

Some parts of India are flooded with rain, they don’t have place
to live till the flooded rain water gets drained, in some other parts
people are longing to get water for irrigation and their basic needs.
Loss in one place can be utilized as a resource in one place. So
India as whole will be benefited. The main purpose of national
utilization of water resources is uniform and proper use of this
resource at every place, in order to avoid problem between the
states, nationalization should be done, but on the other hand it is
also necessary that it should not be merely a political agenda.

The rivers flowing from the north to south are not 100% utilized
by the individual states efficiently. Because some state may need
water and some may not need depending upon the geographical
location, requirement, agriculture, etc. So the unused water of
these rivers are directed to the sea. So what the government has
planned to nationalize the rivers by constructing a water channel
from north to south, like hoe the national highways are there in
our country. We will have the water highway routes in the form
of the channels.

AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEMS IN

IMPLEMENTING THIS I THINK ARE At present water
resources in India are under the control of respective state
government, to nationalize it all state governments must accept it.
Detailed well planned architecture have to be prepared to connect
all rivers without any city gets affected. Lakhs and lakhs of acres
of land will be needed to connect all rivers, this must be taken
care by the respective state government. I like to approach this
problem in two steps

STEP 1: REGARDING THE NATIONALIZATION OF

WATER RESOURCES The country can be divided into zones.
Each zone can include equal number of states with and without
the problem of water scarcity. Each zone can be controlled by a
panel forms by the central government. The panel can be the final
authority regarding the planning and execution of the entire
project and it takes decision regarding the water sharing formula
between the states in a particular
STEP 2: AWARENESS PROGRAM

The same board can take steps to spread awareness among the
masses regarding the water scarcity situation that is prevailing in
every corner of the globe and especially in developing countries
like ours and take measurements to teach the efficient use of
water, its conservation and some knowledge about preventing
pollution of water bodies. They should also be taught about the
need for afforestation and how forests can bring rain. This
program can be initiated in all schools and colleges run by the
state and central government.

The government can also take the help of various organizations

that are working for this cause. Last but not the least the rural
masses need more education regarding the present situation. Plays
can be organized to tell the people about the dangers of water
scarcity.

THE BENEFITS OF NATIONALIZING WATER

RESOURCES Apart from the satisfaction of water, employment
opportunities can be given to people. Hydel power generation is
possible from this project. Also water transport will become
familiar inside the nation.

KAVERI WATER DISPUTE This dispute can only be solved

when people of Tamilnadu and Karnataka realize that it’s their
own family member on other side who is using water for
quenching his thirst or using it in farms I know it is too idealistic
but this is the only way to solve the problem. To solve all these
kinds of problems all rivers in India should be nationalized and a
neutral committee comprising of experts in water resource, major
political leaders of the states in dispute and central political
authority should be formed.

The decision of that committee should become binding to all the

parties involved in dispute. Again this solution involves
individual honesty and national perspective and in my view both
of these are lacking in India. The only way out of these types of
problems is the realization by all Indians about their responsibility
as citizens. River kauveri is like any mother is treating her
children equal with its flow but its her children who are not
treating each other equal and right. I hope the better sense
prevails…… May almighty direct out intellect in right direction.
