http://www.indiawaterportal.org/sites/indiawaterportal.org/f iles/Review_of_Justice_Brijesh_Kumar_Tribunal_(KWDT-2)_report_on_Krishna_River_water_allocations.pdf eview of KWDT-2 report analysing how it has failed to protect the long term sustainable productivity and ecology of the river basin Before the rain water collects in the river, it picks up many salts in dissolved form from the soil on which it flows or percolates. If we imagine a state constructing a tall dam across the river to prevent its water passage to the downstream state, the water reservoir created behind the dam is similar to the land locked Dead Sea in Israel, Caspian Sea in Russia/Iran, Sambar lake in Rajasthan state. Since there is no outlet to the sea from the lake, nearly 20,000 square km land gets submerged in case of Krishna River. The water flowing in to the lake from the river will get evaporated accumulating dissolved salts in the lake water. Gradually, the lake water turns unfit for agriculture, human and cattle use due to its high TDS or salinity. I am a Gultu to the core, for me there is ONLY one Super-Star |
