Sedimentation problem
Sedimentation rate very due to young formation of Himalayan ranges Sedimentation rate in India varies from 4.65 to 21.10 ha m/100 km2 /year Sedimentation leading to: - erosion of fertile soil cover -- shorter life of reservoirs
Water Quality
Riverine Length (km) High Pollution Moderate Pollution Relatively clean 6086 8691 30242
Poor Efficiency
Efficiency of irrigation system relatively very low Present level of efficiency -surface water: 35-40% -- ground water: 65-70% Scope for further improvement -surface water: 60% -- Ground water: 75%
