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
