I think that the era of big dams is over. We should have small dams and try and do something on rain water harvesting and recharging ground water. Big dams are plain bad. They flood people out of their homes and off their lands, wipeout endangered habitats and species, spread water-borne diseases, deprive flood plains of the water and sediments of life-giving floods ruin beautiful landscapes and submerge places of great cultural or spiritual importance. Big dams even cause earthquakes because of the weight of water in reservoirs. So i believe that small dams are more useful.

Small dams are more useful than big dams

Even though, I fully support construction of small dams, we need to look at larger picture of the whole country rather than a small area. We need to find out where we are wasting the water by allowing it to flow into the sea and where we are in dire need of water. This can only be achieved by studying the whole country and try to link all rivers so that we can use the excess water in one area to the other places where we need it. River linking is the only option with the setting up of national river authority.
