We should privatise rivers at the earliest to solve these problems. Let a private consortium get the stake for all the water. Then whoever needs water can buy from them. This will help in the following:
1. It will drive the point that water is a RESOURCE and it has a cost.
2. Which ever state has more money they can buy.
3. Water will not be wasted as it will be precious-in real terms-MOST important

Graet idea. But not workable in the near future. Do you think this will be a reality when bandicoots are sitting in water resources and irrigation departments? they will be the stumbling blocks in the way to declare water as a resource.
Well we got used to using everything free. it will take a bit of time before some sense is driven into the minds of our policy makers.
