Bill of Material Invoice - Water Canals

The Water Canals that is being planned in this Country like the Ganga canals or the Brahmaputra canals, Krishna, Godavari, Yamuna and other rivers that flow in the North, West and East can be diverted to the South through which the Surplus or excess water can irrigate more areas, provide drinking water, water for industrial usage, water for offices, companies and sports body, so on.  This Water diverted can be charged at a nominal rate from the recipient states.  

For example let's say that the water from Ganga can be diverted from Uttar Pradesh via a canal through Chattisgarh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and final reaching TamilNadu.  The Canal let's has a capacity to carry enough water all way through these states and can provide substantial water to TN.  In this Scenario, the respective States of UP, Chattisgardh, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and TN could share the investment on the CANALS on actual basis, based on the length of the canals in their respective state boundaries.  Let's say the overall distance is 1800 KMs, in UP 350 KMs, Chattisgarh 450 KMS, telangana 450 KMs, Andhra 350 KMs and 200 KMs in TN.  

The COST of construction and maintenance of the CANALS can be shared fundamentally on the BASIS of EACH States investing for the CANALS in their region on a (50%-50% basis where in respective States invests 50% of the cost, the republican government invests 50% of the cost).  The maintenance charges at actual's would be shared by all States involved (80% of the costs) and the Republican Government (20%) based on the Ratio of Distance Covered in Each State versus the Total distance.   This could be an expense report claim after every calendar year or periodically on month on month basis.  The maintenance charges shall be a Bill of Material Invoice, Generated by a Portal or Software that monitors this CANALS Complete needs (Namely, Ganga Canal Project).

The charges for the water received at actual's by each recipient would again be a periodic claim (annual or monthly) where in the States deposit the amount to the GANGA CANAL PROJECT Public or Private Limited Company.  The maintenance COST on the canals can be a discounted cost after a part of the charges received on water realized by the States.  The remaining amount can be used for the Salary or Software Maintenance Costs to ensure the CANAL is completely and always in Good conditions and meets the international standards.


The FEASIBILITY STUDY should ascertain the CAPITAL COST, Operational Costs, required vis a vis the estimated revenues that can be generated from Maintenance Costs,  Water Charges at the hands of the recipient state and so on.  The CANAL could also generate Power in it's entire distance that could also generate revenue for the en-route states which could also be added to the anticipated revenues and this profit could then be routed to the maintenance costs of the canal to balance or offset the maintenance costs.


Hope the States and the Republican Government look from this aspect.
