As praticing forester for over four decades in India, I strongly believe in the age old Biblical saying "What the eye can see the heart can grieve". In order to reduce tensions of water distribution, it is better to have unseen water(in the shape of underground/subsurface) than seen water.
In Tamilnadu, a Cadre in IFS (Indian Forest Service) which I belong to, I have seen dry rivers with sub- surface flow which the villagers have been taping to recharge their wells constructing sub-surface dams.
