India has been facing friction over the sharing of river waters. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have been fighting like two warring nations over sharing of Cauvery River water. Punjab, Haryana and Delhi have also been engaged in a horrid conflict over sharing of the water of Sutlej River and the construction of Sutlej-Yamuna link canal.Odisha and Chhatisgarh are also at loggerheads on sharing the water of Mahanadi River. Water sharing can also become a hot issue, developing into a conflict between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Water wars in future will create a problem for the entire nation.
