Should Water Resources Be Nationalized?

Background:-

• At present, all rivers and lakes in India are in the authority of respective state government.
• In some areas floods are occurring and in some areas droughts occurring. If we connect all the rivers these problems will be solved. So, India is planning to nationalize water resources.
• Well planned architecture is needed to connect all this rivers.
• To nationalize water resources, every state have to agree for the proposal.

In Favor:-

• Flood and drought conditions will be prevented.
• Some fertile lands are wasting because of lack of water facility.
• Water have been moving to the sea. By connecting the rivers, we can redirect to dry places.
• As there is the difference in height of lands, we can generate power in this project if we plan to do so
• Many will get employment during the project and also after completion of the project for maintaining purpose.
• We can avoid the fights between states.

In Against:-

• In some areas, industrial waste have been disposing in rivers. This polluted water will spread all over the country.
• It requires lakhs of acres of land.
• There is a argument in against to this proposal that instead of nationalizing all the rivers, we should make people aware of water saving methods such as preserving the rain water etc.

Conclusion:-
