WATER CRISES - SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

Dear All

It is the fact that there is no life with out water and beyond imagination to visualize this situation. Knowing this, what is going on to understand its improtance, crises, issues with shortage or excess, pollution, mismanagement ........ and ways to come out of it.

Media both print and electronic are trying theri best in creating awareness to all the readers who are essentially the stakeholders. What is happening is the we all raise the voice only when the problem comes like drought or floods. The result is damage to the people, property and environment. All the remedies by spending lot of energy and resources may yeild temporary results with out access or sustainability. We all are facing or atleast able to see or read the situation and its consequencs. 

The seasons are well known to us and the only lacking issue is poor preparedness. We open our eyes when the probelm occurs and tries to get some temporary solutions. It is our experience that this sort of approaches are not going to be sustainable. 

The need of the hour is to look for permanent solutions with preparedness to face the situation. Do you feel it is impossible? Certainly not yet all. It only needs concern & commitment both in understanding, and management.

Then the question comes, who is responsible?  Certainly we, the users of consumers. If we all can take some simple measures, the extent of water crises can be minimized to larger extent. It is to store and manage rainwater which is well known as RAINWATER HARVESTING (RWH) and every one of us either on individual basis or community basis can do it for making wonders in preserving our life saving and most precious natrual resource.

The main focus of RWH is to store on surface and to recharge the ground water. It cn be done by the individual house owners and the people living in apartments. During this crises period, i receive several mails and calls asking for solution. Make RWH as an habit as water is the essential component for development. I am doing this in my house and able to see & enjoy the difference.

Every one should do RWH for the benefit of self and environment.  In its absence, we will be facing its consequences more seriouly than what we all are facing in this summer. 

Hope to make RWH as an habit to save the life and environment........     

Looking forward

All the Best
