Extract :

Center will implement " River Interlinking " Project by 2025 , and for this, it will not require permission of any State

Make " Water Conservation / Usage " , a CENTRAL SUBJECT in our
Constitution . Remove it from the list of STATE SUBJECTS

*  Declare all existing sources of water ( Rivers and Lakes ) , as
National Resources belonging to entire Nation and not to the
particular State where these are located

       
*  Make it Center's responsibility to decide which State shall use how
    much of each of these resource ( allocation / rationing )

*  Center will also be responsible for developing of future resources
by  digging lakes & ponds / building dams / interlinking rivers &
lakes etc
    
    Use MNREGA funds for creating such assets
