Nowadays, our country is facing lots of droughts. If we join the Ganga and Kaveri rivers, it would help in irrigation. Can you please speak to the politicians to take up this matter seriously?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Scientists say that if we construct dams for all the rivers in our country and prevent water from going to the sea, we can ensure that the whole of India is covered with two feet of water (referring to the quantity of water available for irrigation).

A lot of water from rivers is going waste by being drained into the sea. We need to use water from rivers properly. There is no dearth of water. India receives the second highest amount of rainfall in the world. However, we are not storing this water properly.
Form groups and construct check dams to save rain water.
