Idea is good but Govt constructs DAM only and Water Cached areas belongs to local people. Who try to build houses on that area which pollute the incoming water with different kinds of varus. So DAM upstream area should be banned for all type of constructions and land uses must be agriculture only.
Dams are needed throughout the country. It’s good news for twins city resident.
