Scientists who love wearing the cap of environmentalists should first organise their thinking on HOW PRECIOUS LITTLE OUR GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN DOING FOR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM CALLED WATER.

Have we pushed our Government in at least 100% collection and transport of Sewerage and its effective processing at STPs? (No)

How much increase in reservoir capacity have we invested in during the period when our population has grown five folds? (We have allowed reservoirs to be dried up)

Have we prevented influence of untreated wastes getting into our river systems which sure has damaged eco balance and flora and fauna?(No)

Then why are we raising hue and cry at some judicious use opportunity of putting surplus part of surface run offs thru interlinking of rivers !

We can always insist on putting the plans to stricter technical scrutiny but why not three cheers to Government that is having some intention of spreading the surplus waters to address the questions of floods , droughts and wasteful passage of all surface waters into sea.
