Linking of Rivers - Increasing Water Use Efficiency for Increasing Water Availability
Published on by Yogesh Agrawal, Director (retired), Minor irrigation schemes, Water Resources Department at Govt of Rajasthan in Academic
Govt of India wants to take up linking of rivers in a big way.
But it is silent regarding improving water use efficiency from 40 % to 90 %. GoI can do that very easily if it changes its old policy and take up construction of water courses/ field channels at Govt cost in all irrigation projects; whether already constructed/under construction or yet to be constructed.
This will be much cheaper than linking of rivers and very easy to implement and results can be achieved even if partial work is done.
