India is about to launch a massive engineering project that will connect several rivers, transferring an estimated 7 trillion cubic feet of water annually to address water scarcity and boost hydroelectric power generation.
The National River Linking Project, with an estimated cost of $168 billion, has been described as 'unique in its unrivalled grandiosity,' although concerns have been raised over potential displacement of residents and inundation of land.
