Main reason of water shortage is Irrigation canals losses which can be reduced by piped systems

*My Uncle, S C Dhadda. was the Senior Engineer for the Bhakra Dam. He lived on the dam and worked there day and night. We were all so proud of him. One thing not mentioned is the US provided the designs and overall consultancy for the Dam. They should be consulted on what to do next as they designed it. IIT Rourkee Professors being consulted is correct. However Waiting for 1 year for a report is absurd, as a safety measure they should open the floodgates, de-silt partly AND ONLY THEN WAIT ONE YEAR for the report. Never put the Dam and the lives of thousands at risk. This is F O O L I S H*.

Desilting of the Bhakra reservoir is not just a maintenance task but a major engineering challenge. <br>With no dedicated bottom spillway for sediment removal, it requires innovative solutions combining advanced mechanical systems and coordinated manual efforts.
