Good thinking. In Coimbatore we have a NGO of local people and industries banded together in an organisation called SIRUTHULI. This organisation has taken up the desilting of local tanks and the river flowing through the town over the past one year. The results are spectacular. Three huge tanks have been filled with rain/river water and the groundwater level has definitely come up. This has to be replicated in each and every river basin then the problem of drought and floods can be alleviated to a great extent. the cost will be a fraction of that being spent in grandoise dam projects and the benefits will reach a greater number of people.
