National River Linking Project

The National River Linking Project (NRLP) is an ambitious plan in India to connect different rivers through a network of artificial channels and reservoirs. Its goal is to transfer water from water-rich regions to drought-prone areas, helping improve irrigation, drinking water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. By creating these water corridors, the project aims to reduce regional water scarcity, control floods, and support agriculture and economic development. However, it involves significant engineering, environmental, and social considerations, as it alters natural water flow patterns and ecosystems.
