Yes, these problems be solved or minimised by transferring the surplus water from one basin to the water deficit basins. During the rainy season, much of the water is wasted in floods and flows down to the sea. When there is a flood in one part of the country, the other area suffers from drought. We do have such schemes:
- Periyar Diversion Scheme
- Indira Gandhi Canal Project
- Kurnool-Cuddapah Canal
- Beas-Satluj Link Canal
- Ganga-Kaveri Link Canal
