Solution
The dams have created conflicts between people wanting different uses and benefits from the same water resources. Inter-state water disputes are also becoming common with regard to sharing the costs and benefits of the multi-purpose project. The landowners, rich farmers, industrialists, and urban centres are benefitting at the cost of local communities. In Gujarat, the Sabarmati- basin farmers were agitated and almost caused a riot over the higher priority given to water supply in urban areas, particularly during droughts.
