India to link 60 rivers to tackle floods

The Indian government has indicated it will begin the work to inter-link 60 major rivers in the country to help tackle floods. The project is expected to cost $87 billion. 

The government says this will help reduce farmers' dependance on the monsoon and help irrigate drought prone areas.

However, environmentalists have sounded an alarm saying that this scheme could cause substantial ecological damage.
