Inter Linking of Rivers Demand of Time

A National Perspective Plan forwater resources development by transferring water from watersurplus basins to water deficit basins/regions in 1980 was formulated by the ministry of water resources. National Water
Development Authority after carrying out detailed studies identified 30 links for preparation of feasibility reports. These links can be divided into two components—the Himalayan (14 links) and the Peninsular (16). These links are aimed at mitigating the effects of floods and droughts, and as well as augmenting income in rural areas in general, and in agriculture in particular. The ILR programme is focused on reducing irrigation uncertainties and mitigating the adverse impact of floods and droughts.
