Water is one of the most vital natural resources for all life on Earth. The availability and quality of water always have played an important part in determining not only where people can live, but also their quality of life. Even though there always has been plenty of fresh water on Earth, water has not always been available when and where it is needed, nor is it always of suitable quality for all uses. Water must be considered as a finite resource that has limits and boundaries to its availability and suitability for use.
Major Rivers in our Country
Major Rivers in our Country
why it is so important that we conserve our water. Water is our most precious resource. Water is vital to life. Humans, plants, and animals are made up of mostly water. All living things would die if it weren't for water.
We use water for drinking, washing, cleaning, cooking, and growing our food as well as many, many other things. daily. Even more water is used by industries to generate electricity, manufacture things, and transport people and goods.
Without water there is no life at all.
Our country is mainly agriculture country, 80% people are depend on agriculture , growing food items paddy, wheat, sugar cane, maize, jawar, bajra, pulses, ground nut, potato ,chilly, leafy vegetables, vegetables, fruits etc. without water we can,t produce any food grains. producing milk , milk products.
Without food human beings or any animal can live on the earth. After air water is most essential.
In our country agriculture is mainly depend on rains ,June to October south west monsoon and November to may north east monsoon. Some times in monsoon rains are not sufficient or some times heavy rains are there. Due to in sufficient rains crops will dry and causes heavy losses to the farmer, even though they will not get the investment also. And they are forced to end their lives.
Due to heavy rains in monsoon heavy floods occurs rivers flow with huge water which destroy the crops, damage to the buildings losses to the industries, cattle, birds will die.
In our country so many states are being effected with drought with out rains and some states are facing with floods due to heavy rains.
In our country in the north the Ganges, Sindhu, Brahmaputra and so many small rivers rivers flowing through out the year, there will be no scare city of water. So many projects are constructed on these rivers. Yearly yielding three crops. In rainy season rain water flow in the summer ice melting water from Himalayas . After using water for agriculture and storing in the major projects the excess water flowing in to the sea. On these rivers
Multipurpose River valley Projects are constructed.
In the north Multipurpose River valley Projects are Bhakhra Nangal Project (Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan), Chambal Project (Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan) , Damodar Valley Project (Jharkhand and West Bengal), across the Ganga at Farakha; another barrage at Jangipur across the Bhagirathi, Indira Gandhi Canal , Rihand Project (Uttar Pradesh) , Thien Dam (Punjab)
only the problem is due to heavy rains causing floods and damaging huge.
In the middle and south of the country Narmada , Mahanadi , Godavari, Krishna ,Kaveri ,Tungabhadra and small rivers are flowing , in these rivers purely rain water flows, due to shortage of monsoon this year these rivers having no sufficient water for agriculture and for drinking. Here also some times floods occurs by heavy rains.
Multipurpose River valley Projects in the midddle and south are Hirakud Project (Orissa) , Kakrapara Project (Gujarat) , Koyna Project (Maharashtra) ,Ukai Project (Gujarat) , Nagarjun Sagar Project ( Telangana and Andhra Pradesh) , Tungbhadra Project (Andhra Pradesh and Krnataka )
Hirakud dam
Even though having the above projects we can't cultivating whole land and not storing total water. The excess water is wasting and flowing into the Bay of Bengal and Arabian sea.
So, we have to use whole water flowing in the rivers in our country and not to waste single drop of water.
Every year we are facing water problems for drinking and agriculture most of the country. The excess water can be diverted to the other rivers by linking of North Indian rivers with south Indian rivers. This plan was there but pending since so many years.

Dr. KL Rao Ex. Central Irrigation minister planned to link the Ganges( North) with Kavery (South) but it has not take place. At least we hope the present Central Govt. has to take dare step to link north rivers with south rivers.
If we link North and South Rivers
- Plenty of water available , we can't depend on monsoon rains.
- There will be no draught nor floods.
- There will be no draught nor floods.
- Floods can be avoided . by which national property, agriculture, industries , houses can be saved. Fast development will takes place.
- More no. of projects can be constructed. Depend upon bore wells not necessary.
- More no. of projects can be constructed. Depend upon bore wells not necessary.
- Whole land will comes under cultivation. Exess yielding of food grains.
- Food grains will be produced more and become cheap.
- We can export food grains to other countries.
- Food grains will be produced more and become cheap.

- There will be plenty of drinking water, need not to go to hundreds kilometres.
- Whole India will become greenery.
- Animals have sufficient drinking water, the wild animals in the forest also live happyly.
- Milk production can be improved.
- Medical plants can be produced.
- Milk production can be improved.
- Medical plants can be produced.
- No over heat due to Sun in he Sun season.
- People will not fall ill health due to heavy heat. All will be healthy, plenty of Oxygen
available.
available.
- Can be improved forests.
- Ecological balance can be maintained.
- All deserts will become green lands. There will be no desert in Rajasthan.
- Hydro electricity can be produced surplus.
- More industries can be established.
- More employment can be provided , there will not be any unemployed.
- Only the expenditure can be bared , what expended can be recovered early.
- So many other benefits also can be enjoyed. Poverty can be eradicated.
Due to lake of water the fields are drying and the farmers grazing the crops in Adilabad district of Telangana. Not only in Telangana every where the same situation. Due to drought. By linking of rivers the situation will not arise. And plenty of food grains can be produced. So far no body taken any step to linkage of the Ganges and Kavery.
Under ground water level decreased, heavy drought , Lackhs of acres of fields are effected by drought. Farmers are selling their cattle and pump sets. Agriculture labour migrating to other areas.
After Independence, up to now also Govt. not taken any step to provide water source. Yearly budget is lackhs of rupees at least every year phased manner Govt. should have have taken to implement of linkage of rivers.
A pipe line from east to west provided for transport of Natural gas and petroleum why not water linkage not possible ?.

Drinking water problem in maharastra
There is a dispute of satlej - yamuna , Punjab CM told there is no water to supply water to other states.
Water and its structure
Liquid and solid water. Ice, like all solids, has a well-defined structure; each water molecule is surrounded by four neighboring H2Os. two of these are hydrogen-bonded to the oxygen atom on the central H2O molecule, and each of the two hydrogen atoms is similarly bonded to another neighboring H2O.

Heat wave: No relief in sight, warns
IMD
Relief from the searing heat appears nowhere in sight for Telangana with weathermen
forecasting persistence of the prevailing heat wave conditions at least till April 21.
Heat wave conditions, the IMD said, will continue to prevail over all the 10 districts of
Telangana for the next three days. On Saturday , the highest temperature of 45
degrees Celsius was recorded in Nizamabad, while Hyderabad sizzled at 42.4 degrees.The IMD also said most places in the state can look forward to temperatures ranging
between 40 and 45 degrees over the next five days. The oppresive heat claimed four more lives in the state, with three persons succumbing to heat stroke in Karimnagar and one in Adilabad. The heat wave is also taking a heavy toll on livestock with poultry owners in Hayatnagar mandal in Rangareddy district reporting death of more than 20,000 chickens in the last couple of days.

Over heat this year.
No water in Godavari river
Date:23-04-2016
But heavy rains in Arunachal Pradesh. Some areas are drought at the same time floods in other place. If the rivers have been linked , no floods nor drought would have been in our country.
Farmer facing problems even though working day and night , he is getting losses only. Agriculture became just like gambling, farmer going away from agriculture. There is no safety for food. There will be no rates for agriculture products. PM said three pillar formula and to adopt latest technology in agriculture. But not given assurance to farmers supply of water by linking of north and south rivers.
No water to the God also at Chilkur Balaji Temple .
No water to the God also at Chilkur Balaji Temple .
Due to water shortage stopped holy water offered to deity and distribution to devotees at Kartikeya temple in Karnataka .
Important Multipurpose Projects

The basic aim of the Farakka barrage is to preserve and maintain Calcutta port and to improve the navigability of the Hooghly river. Specifically, the object of Farrakka is to use about 40‚000 cusecs of water out of the water stored in the dam to flush the Calcutta port which is getting silted up.
5. Indira Gandhi Canal
It is one of the biggest irrigation projects in the world, begun in 1958 as Rajasthan Canal. It is a bold venture of bringing irrigation to a desert area. It will provide irrigation facility to N-W Region of Rajasthan a part of Thar desert. The Project which will use water from the Pong dam consists of 215 km long Rajasthan feeder canal (with the first 178 km in Punjab and Haryana and remaining 37 km in Rajasthan) and the 445 km long Rajasthan main canal lying entirely in Rajasthan. The project will ultimately irrigate about 14•5 lakh
hectares.
6. Hirakud Project (Orissa)
The 4801•2 metre long main Hirakud dam in Orissa is on the river Mahanadi. It is the world’s longest dam. The project irrigates an area of 11•98 lakh hectares. Its present installed power generation capacity is 27•2 MW.
7. Kakrapara Project (Gujarat)
