The things are not going to ...

The things are not going to improve, as neither the government or nor the water utilisers are willing to part with the luxury, with which they are using water mercilessly. There is no discipline at the level of government departments and the water utilisers. In the irrigation projects which were sanctioned with a particular cropping pattern and water requirement, no efforts are being done by the central or state governments to adhere to that cropping pattern. Cultivators in the head portions of main canals, secondary canals and field channels are growing rice and sugarcane, whether approved cropping pattern approves it or not. Let the things go to the worst and there is scarcity of water as in California, and probably then only the government and policy makers and water utilisers will give attention for proper utilisation of water.
