It is good that Govt of India has given attention to solve water scarcity in India. But what are the reasons and what should be a sustainable solution is in dispute. What is needed is to stop wasteful use of water and water resources. Shortage in Water availability and high damages due to floods are caused by the same reasons, i.e. construction and mining activities in the catchment areas and flood plains. The Govt of India must give proper attention on these problems and try to solve them. Shutting eyes from the bare facts , can not solve a problem in a correct and sustainable manner.
