    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question. It is regrettable that the Environment Management and Co-ordination Act came into force much later 3824 after many of the laws which deal with agriculture, water and irrigation were in force. What we are doing now - and I really want to thank the hon. Member for raising this question - is to bring together all the Ministries which have in one way or another activities which impact on the environment, and I believe that we are going to succeed. But regarding water, specifically, we have already held discussions with the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Government is planning to introduce dams along rivers, so that more water can collect as people draw it. Of course, the Ministry is going to stop the abstraction of water when they believe that adequate flow must be left in the river."
