ANSWER: 1, 3
- Recognising that water in all its forms “constitutes a hydrological unity”, the draft law asks governments to strive for rejuvenation of river systems by ensuring Aviral Dhara (continuous flow), Nirmal Dhara (unpolluted flow), and Swachh Kinara (clean and aesthetic river banks).
- An integrated river basin development and management plan in each of the basins is supposed to be drawn up, and all water-resource projects in that basin or its sub-basins need to conform to that plan.
