Actually this distribution lacks simple wisdom.More water is to be stored in deeper state which means flood is allowed to disturb all 3 states.If there is famine in higher state water cannot be used.Actually it should have been in reverse way.If more water was stored in Maharashtra,both these problems would have gone.Moreover water flow would have managed & electricity would have produced.
