Kerala is a state blessed with 52 rivers all over acrross. But 80 percent of the water flowing to the sea without using. apart from every year sufficient rain too. but not utilising ani of this water for increase agriculture productivity. The unwise land distribution and over activity of Left trade unionism destroyed Kerala's agriculture and farming. But Kerala Politicians always protest and complain TN or Karnataka taking their water share even they are not utilising it.
Why dont kerala disscuss with TN and settled this old dam problem. keeping the present water sharing ratio even after build new dam. Any way new dam is for the safety of people it should be constructed. TN is using water and cultivating vegitables and rice and all for supplying to Kerala. is that not a good thing. Farming in kerala is not a profitable bussiness anyway. most of the farmlands are used for many other purposes including constructions.
Both states avoid politics and sit together to find way out to save life of over a million people. It is easier for them both states present govts are partners of UPA and their states.
