After seeing 2D map of rivers, many suggested to connect Himalayan rivers & SI rivers

Though Ganga originates at higher elevation,majority of it& #39;s course is at lower elev than SI rivers (let alone watersheds).Pumping wud be very costly

Forget Interlinking!

Long story short:
Cut mountains
Build & maintain pipes
Pump (electricity demand)
Build new canals & dams (land acquisition)
Livelihood loss
Environmental catastrophes
Salt water intrusion
Subsidence

At the end we& #39;ll have metal rivers but we might not have solved water crisis
If someone& #39;s going to argue that only the lower reaches (delta regions) are the target, then imagine the cost for a small increase in water supply! Would the cost be covered?

We& #39;re going to do all this for getting an increase in irrigation equivalent of 5 districts& #39; area.Think!
