Alternate sources of Drinking Water

September 20, 2009

Dear Sri Pantulu,Peculiarity of Water phenomena in this country is 'Wonder Pe Thunder', an exhibition of Sarkari misunderstandings spread all over the year and caught sleeping when the rain comes. We become impatient which we need to be when it does not rain for a few days. But one day's rain is good enough to demonstrate preparedness of the Govts. Each of the town/ city, without exception, get flooded. Rivers go over everybody's head. The Media gets its TRP rating improved by counting no. of dead bodies and collapsed buildings. It is the Mother Nature finally which help us not the Govt and their anti-flood plans. I am sure if better water management

is done carefully with long term preparedness in advance, drinking water will be available for all. Desalination is a process that can help. But it is costly. Have you checked up what will be the requirement and what will be the cost. And the problems of Water Mgt will still be there-profits to be laundered by a Desi or Videshi money maker. I hope you know about the Govt proposal of People Public Partnership arrangements for Education, Water and Electric supplies in urban areas. vns2009/9/19 vwsu kota <pantulu4Dear Mr.Sharma,I find the discussion regarding water scarcity quite amusing. While we do not get enough water through rains in time, the little water we get goes more as a waste because of our inefficient systems supported by inefficient Governments. Anyone knows how much water goes into the sea simply because there are no systems to conserve atleast a part of it. We have sea on three sides and no one thinks of desalination as a solution. Precious ground water is exploited in the name of providing mineral water. Companies marketing mineral water are the beneficiaries in this game. It is high time this is exposed and development is directed in the line of desalination.Pantulu Dr.V.N.Sharmahttp://tinyurl.com/vnsharma"Those who have the privilege to know, have the duty to act."
