My daer president..
Sub: Cuavery water Crisis !!! Do you want to make a good agricultural state.. Do you want to make Karnataka Old kerala.. Rain falls are seasonal .. That is it comes in monsoons in june july and novemebr decemeber !!! I have come to know that there is strike in karanataka regarding this.. When rain fall comes some of the water is absorbed by the ground and becomes ground water and if you dig a well or a pond you will get ground water enough for the rest of the season.. This water can be used for agriculture and drinking after proper filtering and boiling.. But nowadays we have concreted our floors in some villages and ground water level is gone deep.. Further we have filled our ponds and not maintained them.. The solution is to dig lakes that is huge ponds in the villages which will be the ater reservoir for the villages.. The village panchayats can hire some contactors and have a one acre digged at a cost of ten lakhs using bull dozers %u2026 The villages can use diesel or electric pumps to pump water.. This will increase the ground water.. The homes can dig deep wells and collect water for drinking as well as agriculture..One pond will cost 2 lakhs and a well will cost 50000- 1 lakh.. All farmlands should have a well near the land.. Punjab model : In Punjab there are check dams and a network of canals which are full in the rainy season and provide water to the public.. That construction will cost 10lakhs per kilometer including check dams.. The houses in the cities should not have concreted yards and instead make gardens.. The cities should encourage multistoried flats every where and these also should not depend on corporation water but instead on drilled wells.. all cities also should have a lake in the low lying ares which will improve drainage system. A feasibility study should be done.. Regards Mahesh Nayathil http://www.maheshnbiomedical.com
