6If geopolitical and economic impacts are excluded, then this question would appear to be about engineering, or Earth Science, rather than politics.– James KCommented Aug 16, 2017 at 9:33

1What James K said. Questions on this website must be about governments, policies and political processes. Just because a topic is relevant for political decision making doesn't make it on-topic here. The litmus test is "would a political scientist be more qualified to answer this than any other scientist?". In this case the answer is no. It's a question for an environmental engineer, meteorologist, geologist or whatever other scientific discipline can tell us what happens when you redirect a river.– Philipp ♦Commented Aug 16, 2017 at 9:45

There are flood conditions in most parts of India at the moment, so linking the rivers across the country is a very good idea, and it is also feasible. It was first initiated by former prime minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, but he could not complete it due to a change in government. Now Nitin Gadkari has re-started the project and it is continuing apace.
There is no hurdle but a clear understanding, proper vision and effective implementation. But there is one issue which is inter-state water disputes between the states of India
