M.A, Mphill,
Most rivers of India are plagued with interstate disputes. Almost all the major rivers of the country are inter-state rivers and their waters are shared by two or more than two states. After independence, demand for water had been increasing at an accelerated rate due to rapid growth of population, agricultural development, urbanisation, industrialization, etc. These developments have led to several inter-state disputes about sharing of water of these rivers.
