Statement: Should India develop a national water grid by connecting all the rivers in the country?
Arguments:
- No. This is not just possible as we do not have the technical knowhow.
- Yes, this will greatly help the entire country by effectively channelizing the excess water to the areas having shortage.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A single network of all the rivers in the country would surely enable a good distribution of water to all areas, So, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to the nation cannot be hindered owing to lack of knowhow. Ways can be devised to build up such a network. So, argument I is vague.
