Environmental Geotechnical Issues in River Interlinking Proposal
Water is life! In the Indian scenario, it has been estimated that in the near future, there may be an acute shortage of water, due to climate change and global warming. The issue of water scarcity is in a greater extent in the Southern India in comparison with the northern part. To counter these problems, proposal of river interlinking became a big debate in India. It became necessary to link the perennial rivers of Northern India to the rivers of Southern India. The Inundation Rivers can be smoothed to manage the water so as to control the flood by feeding the dry rivers of another basin. The inter-basin flood control can also be possible because of river linking system. Now, it is essential to see the methodology of interlinking of rivers, how best it can be executed at an economical cost. As the construction process always has an adverse effect on the environment, similarly issues on geotechnical engineering also have their own impact in the methodology of river interlinking strategy. So, this article has been dedicated to the probability of adverse issues and socio-environmental apprehensions in relations to the geotechnical engineering. With the help of effective planning a river, interlink program can be conducted with the application of the latest geotechnical science like tunneling, soil nailing, reinforced earth technology, geo-environmental engineering protection to the water and groundwater with the application of geo-membrane, geo-synthetic and geo-grids. The effect of river interlinking on groundwater hydrology and combating its contamination has been discussed in this study. The issues in the planning stages along with the remedial measures of these problems have been briefly narrated in this article.
