Sir,

Sub: Need to save and harvest water

Through the column of your prestigious newspaper, I want to highlight the urgent need to save and harvest water and raise the water table.

Water is a basic necessity for human beings, animals, and birds. The globalization of our economy has given free rein to multinationals. A bottling of water is a thriving business in India. The companies are minting money in the name of providing pure and clean water to people. Rivers are being sold. They are eyeing water supply in big cities. They play no role in conserving water. Water resources are facing a serious threat of depletion. Wells, hand pumps, and tube wells are sucked dry. If the water table falls, farmers will not be able to cultivate crops. It will create chaotic conditions.

The Government and the public must understand the urgent need to save water. We should not waste a drop of water. Water harvesting must be done on a large scale in the rainy season. We must store water in lakes, tanks, and ponds. Recycling water is the need of the hour. Let us take urgent steps to meet an urgent situation. Act before it is too late and the situation becomes beyond redemption.

Yours faithfully

Vineet/Vani
