ABSTRACT
The National Water Development Authority (NWDA) of India describes plans for linking Indian Rivers, and states that the proposals essentially comprise three major links (NWDA, 2004):
1. Southern Water Grid – interlinking Mahanadi, Godavari, Pennar, Cauvery and Vaigai in Peninsular India,
2. Interlinking of Brahmaputra with Ganga, Subernarekha and Mahanadi, and 3. Interlinking Gandak, Ghaghara, Sarda and Yamuna to Rajasthan and Sabarmati.
