The Garland Canal

I found following information on www.Dharwad.com in a public forum on National Issues:
'Subhash' wanted to know about this project and 'Preetam' has replied as follows:


Ganga Kaveri Project - The Garland Canal
The garland canal as it was known and popularised by Dr.K.L.Rao a former chief engineer of Nagarjunsagar project in A.P is a vision to link all the rivers in India from Brahmaputra, Ganga, to Narmada, Tapthi to Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, Penna to Kaveri. This will effectively circulate the waters in our land to every nook and corner eliminating the petty squabbles amongst us. But this needs a real heart to pump up the waters from the Gangaetic plains above the Vindhya mountains to reach the Deccan plateau. The massive energy needed to lift the huge amounts of water is the major obstacle apart from the political will that we always lack. For the Ganga waters to reach Knyakumari and to make this garland a reality we need Bhageerathian efforts on this land.


Hats of to Subhash and Preetam : Tel us more about this project ........

The garland canal project was originally proposed 30 years ago by Dastur.

It is 21 st century. The engineers made a metro train/ tube railway line from Paris to London. Recently China made a bridge of nearly 42 Kms over the sea. There are several building constructed and train tracks / metros under the earth are laid in japan, Iraqi etc. Satellites are being sent with good efforts. Several efforts are carried out and Engineers and are making themselves felt. Is it not possible to lift water over the Deccan. You suggested that political will is necessary. I completely agree with you. The policy makers and the leaders must be sincere / and not corrupt. In the sense that the politicians swallow 90% of the funds. The poor person is left with out food.

If all the blocked / black money is unearthed, all the corrupt money in Swiss banks come to India, If all the trusts loan money to central Govt; we need not beg the IMF or world bank to realize the project.
