Quest for Saraswati!

The river Saraswati has been named in the Rig Veda for a dozen of times.It was then considered as the source of water and deity. The recent initiative by the government may bring out the following out of this quest:
1. Based upon the scarcity of water in India this project will interlink the rivers of India and divert waters from surplus areas to those wracked by droughts.
2.If the river is discovered then there will be no re-enactment of the Saraswati based civilization development.
3.It discovery will reveal the best locations to track ground water.
4.It may add up the benefits of flood control and irrigation.
5.The people may also dig up some Saraswati related celebration as like the Kumbh Mela.
6.It may end up the question of many Observers regarding the existence of the river.
7.The site of Kumbh Mela is said to be Prayag (Allahabad) where the Triveni Sangam occurs due to the confluence of all the rivers. But wherever the sangama occurs a third river Guptavahani is imagined and given a name.
