&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The river linking project is based on a faulty premise, has not cleared legal challenges and will damage Bundelkhand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The people of Bundelkhand certainly need better water access and management. But the Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP), estimated at a cost of Rs 38,000 crore, is not the solution. The project will, on the contrary, lead to huge adverse impacts in the region.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC), in a most remarkable report of August 30, 2019, had raised fundamental questions not only on the appropriateness of the wildlife clearance given to the project, but also the viability, optimality and desirability of the project. It estimates that the KBLP will lead to a loss of &amp;ldquo;10,500 hectares of wildlife habitat&amp;rdquo; in the Panna Tiger Reserve. The project developers are yet to provide a detailed response to the report and the court is yet to hear the matter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The detailed project report of KBLP prepared by the project proponent National Water Development Agency (NWDA) says: &amp;ldquo;The main objective of the Ken-Betwa link project is to make available water to water-deficit areas of the upper Betwa basin&amp;hellip; &amp;rdquo; However, the upper Betwa region is outside the Bundelkhand and has higher rainfall than the region. Most areas of Bundelkhand that have been promised water are already being supplied by existing projects. There is a great scope for improving the water availability in Bundelkhand from existing resources and projects, which can be achieved faster and much cheaper. Both the forest advisory committee (FAC) and the CEC conclude that the NWDA has not examined the alternatives to the project.&lt;/p&gt;

No one needs the Ken-Betwa Link Project -Himanshu Thakkar

-The Indian Express The river linking project is based on a faulty premise, has not cleared legal challenges and will damage Bundelkhand. The people of Bundelkhand certainly need better water access and management. But the Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP), estimated at a cost of Rs 38,000 crore, is not the solution. The project will, on the contrary, lead to huge adverse impacts in the region. The Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC), in a most remarkable report of August 30, 2019, had raised fundamental questions not only on the appropriateness of the wildlife clearance given to the project, but also the viability, optimality and desirability of the project. It estimates that the KBLP will lead to a loss of “10,500 hectares of wildlife habitat” in the Panna Tiger Reserve. The project developers are yet to provide a detailed response to the report and the court is yet to hear the matter. The detailed project report of KBLP prepared by the project proponent National Water Development Agency (NWDA) says: “The main objective of the Ken-Betwa link project is to make available water to water-deficit areas of the upper Betwa basin… ” However, the upper Betwa region is outside the Bundelkhand and has higher rainfall than the region. Most areas of Bundelkhand that have been promised water are already being supplied by existing projects. There is a great scope for improving the water availability in Bundelkhand from existing resources and projects, which can be achieved faster and much cheaper. Both the forest advisory committee (FAC) and the CEC conclude that the NWDA has not examined the alternatives to the project. Please click here to read more.
