Some parts of India are flooded with Rain, they don't have place to live till the flooded rain water gets drained, in some other parts people are longing to get water for irrigation and their basic needs.

We can stop all these if we Nationalize all water resources in India. But this is still under consideration from Government side, But no steps have been taken to implement this.

As per my Knowledge the problems in implementing this I think are,

Detailed well planned architecture have to be prepared to connect all rivers without any city gets affected and it should be taken under one control.

As above friends told nationalization of water is not much necessary. Because definitely the power of constructing dams or some other source will be given to the political parties. There would be only corruption and not service to people.

But having nationalized water will help people of different states for their survival. For this the solution would be choosing a correct political leader who has mind to serve people.

Hai friends. Water Resources should be Nationalized. As we all know that the river water which is flowing in our surrounding is simply combining with the sea and it is of no use instead of that if we use that river water for irrigation by constructing the Reservoirs we can do the best for irrigation purpose and the people who are depending on the irrigation will survive happily.

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.

Hi friends,

Ya i'm also thinking that if water resources should be nationalized then it can be supply of water to all the state with effective proposition. Then we can have no problem with the other states.

For example:-.

The dam constructed by the karnataka Government on the river Thungabvadra river is stopping the water flow to the Andhra pradesh state. If they release the water Ap some areas is cultivating. So that we have to nationalize the water resource.

Thanking you friends.

The water resources should be nationalized is a good idea that the state political parties can not have a bone for a contention among the people. Since the local political parties have a keen eye on cashing the melee situations created for their benefit.

This ulterior motive was quite obvious when the people of Kerala and Tamilnadu out on the ground with lethal weapons for water related issue. So all rivers and reservoirs established in our country should go under one command. When it happened, the people of India could see nothing but development in every aspect which will pave a good platform for us to get into the label of super power country.

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 think water resources should be nationalised so that each state get the sources of water from which some state are suffering and our land become fertile. Our economic groth will start and each will get the employment.

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.

In my point of view water should be nationalized because, we know that water is ultimate source of our life as well as with out water we can not live at all. We know that India have good lands and good farmers, if water is nationalized then India becomes developed and all the land comes under cultivation. By making the rivers nationalized the land becomes fertile and can be used for cultivation there are by the Indian labors can get some work, some food, and even Indian goods quality can also be increased.
