Water resources should be nationalised

Hi Friends,

Our country is purely on agricultural dependent. So nationalization of water is very much important. In our country around 70% of rain water will goes into sea every year because of our poor infrastructure. We have to construct many dams and reservoirs across the country to keep the flood and rain water in maximum levels. Also interlinking of all revers is must, so that we can divert the flood water in other states where this water is very much required for agriculture and drinking etc. In many cities so many natural lakes and ponds are occupied by the local builders for illegal constructions this must be stopped immediately and should be punished strongly who ever the person might be. Strong water regulatory body should be formed and government should give more importance to our farmer brothers who is providing food to us for living.

Thanks.

I do agree with advantages over nationalizing water resources, whereas there are more problem with we don't foresee to. The water resources being nationalized, water would be polluted all over the nation. There are many textile and leather industries spread across the country. They have been polluting the nearby rivers and lakes to dispose their waste. For the case, take Tirupur in Tamil nadu. The place which attracts all textile people of the country and abroad.

The underground water there is so contaminated that, they get coloured water everywhere they put a bore. If people have nearly contaminated the underground water itself, imagine the water which would be flowing on the surface. The nationalization of water can be done, if the government is very strict with their policies and rules though. Or nationalization would end as a disaster.

Hi fnds.

From my point of view water resources should be nationalised so that the power of usage of water lies in the hands of the central government and if that govt is strong can reduce the quarells between the states and can distribute them according to the need of the states and it can have the right to supply that in an efficient way to all the states without nationalisation it is like giving sweets to children and telling them to distribute among themselves, so it should be nationalised, like railway budjet, finance budjet there should be water budjet in which the drought areas should be recognised through expert comittees and should be distributed.

We the indians we should be united in sharing our resources and help the states which are facing shortage of resources so that we can live happily and develop in a quicker way.

I feel that water should not be nationalized. India being a diverse country, makes it difficult for the govt to allocate and divide resources equally to the entire population. Hence a state-wise allocation is used as it is less cumbersome and so that state governments can handle the water resources in a better and localized way.

Also, nationalization of water would lead to water wars and huge demand which will lead to dying out of the water in rivers. Even without nationalization, states are fighting over sharing water and excessive use of shared waters. Hence it would cause a major disaster if we nationalize water.

Instead efforts should be made to conservation, water harvesting techniques, construction of wells and bringing in a better system for recording and billing water usage as it is done for electricity.

Hi friends its Akash. I read most of your note, I am also in favor of nationalization of water resources like major rivers lakes, etc. But one thing I must say that one water resources water is not possible to distribute to the hole country.

So, a water resources will cover how many states! is due to excessive distribution of water the bio-diversity of the river as well as the state in which river is follow going to changed? Is it would be the cause of drought of the state in which it follows? We have to to look after this type of problems before going to nationalized the water resources.

Who knows it may be cause water war between tow or more states. To avoid these type of complications should be form a high profile committee who would be study the complications and their solutions.

I think every major water resources like river, lakes, dams are under the control of government now only left is wells and the boring done at the house place or at the farming place, I think it would be very difficult for the government to nationalize all these sources and also it is not necessary. Instead of thinking in this way I would say Government must make the arrangement to make the nearby river water reach to the location facing water scarcity. As it has been done in the Rajkot. In Rajkot the water of huge river NARMADA is provided when its city DAM is not able to provide sufficient water to the city.

So government must take the complaints of the people facing water scarcity problems and must take such kind of quick steps for the betterment of our country and its people.

Nationalisation of water resources has both pros and cons. Though it is a sensitive issue to be handled, considerations from different state governments are to be looked before doing any proceedings in this aspect. As different water resources cater different kinds of needs, it is to be clearly understood what type of resources are to be nationalised.

Coming to pros:
- Nationalization can improve gross usage of water resources there by decreasing wastage
- It creates employment to several people directly or indirectly
- Future scope of utility of these can be estimated and implemented

Well, the cons are:
- Political issues may concern the implementation of developmental activities
- Corruption may go high
- Inefficient monitoring leads to increased wastes of water resources

Hi friends, according to me water resources must be nationalized, as it can be felt and also said by many friends that some states are abundant in water resources while some are scarce in water resources. So, nationalization of water will lead to equal availability of resources to many states. This will solve many conflicts that occur between various states because of water resources. This will provide water at the required quantity to each and every field that will increase the cultivation and hence will make INDIA a developed nation.

Though, this will also leads to corruption but problem of corruption can be solved easily, but the advantages provided by nationalization of water cannot be obtained alternatively.

Hence, water resources must be nationalized.

THANK YOU.

Hello everyone, water is an essential element of human survival and its resources are limited so water resources should not be divided state wise, it should be nationalised so that it can be equal for all, as now it is divided state wise there is water this balance in the nation eg: one side there are states like Punjab, Haryana and Kerala who have abandoned of water and other side Delhi, Maharashtra who are dry states so water bodies should be nationalised to: reduce the water wars between the states as it hampers the integrity of country further as it is scared and it is of everyone so if it remains only with state government so they can use it harshly and situation may happen like of cape town where they are at the level of end of underground water.

Thank you.
