Andhra Pradesh’s desalination plants look paradoxical – India The news that Andhra Pradesh is planning to go in for desalination plants in the State with Israeli technology comes as a surprise in fact. Desalination plants are a solution to the water problem no doubt, but for Andhra Pradesh to mull the same is ironical. Andhra Pradesh is not exactly a water deficit State by any yardstick. Its problem is the run-off waters. Nearly 3,000 tmcft water flows waste into the sea every year through the Godavari and the Krishna rivers. Good monsoons and cyclones are also a feature that should ensure water surplus if the State goes in for careful planning. (LINK). HIWI042020-02-28T10:04:51+01:00
