India's ambitious river interlinking projects, which aim to tackle the country's growing issues of droughts and floods, may unintentionally exacerbate water stress and disrupt monsoon patterns, warns a study published in the journal Nature.
India's river interlinking projects, aimed at addressing droughts and floods, may worsen water stress and disrupt monsoon patterns, according to a study in Nature. The research used regional climate models and data analysis to examine the hydro-meteorological consequences of these massive infrastructure projects. The study found that inter-basin water transfer could affect land-atmosphere interactions, leading to changes in rainfall patterns.
