Water rights, the future
River water sharing has become a very politicised issue. Instead of fighting against each other, the stakeholders should think ahead of how to manage water. With climate change a reality now, ways and means must be thought of to conserve water. Recycling, arresting leakage and better water use must be thought of. More tanks and afforestation along rivers will help. Almost all rivers are rain fed and serious thought must be given to better water use.
