		Immersion of ashes, bones and splinters of the dead bodies after cremation,stale flowers from the temples and unusable material of religious activities on the bank of the Betwa are some of the causes that are contaminating the water of the river Betwa.
		The pollution in Betwa is also increasing due to bathing of cattle into it, cleaning of the vehicles and cereals and mixing of sewage water.
		In addition to it Betwa receives every year more than a million gallons of contaminated water and other industrial effluent which is an alarming factor that needs constant attention and adoption of suitable measures to prevent the holy river Betwa.

	ZNet Commentary: River Linking Project
		At the core of the science of river linking is the idea that water will be diverted from "surplus" rivers to "deficit" rivers, thus ameliorating floods and drought and improving food security by creation of new irrigation facilities.
		Banda district experiences scarcity of water in summer season due to decrease in the level of water in Ken river which is the main source of drinking water and irrigation in the district.
		The only benefit of the river link is to provide water to 4 dam projects in the Betwa basin which have been rendered infeasible due to non-availability of water.
