Kerala, at the Annual General Meeting of the National Water Development Agency Society (NWDA), told the Minister of Water Resources, Arjun Charan Sethi, that the proposal to divert waters to Vaippar areas of Tamil Nadu from the Pamba-Achankovil rivers in Kerala should be abandoned. "Time and again Kerala has expressed strong views against long distance inter-basin water transfer proposals, which are likely to create complicated water management problems. This is more so, where full consent of affected States is not obtained,'' the Kerala Water Resources Minister, T.M. Jacob, told the meeting.
