Heavy rains all over the world
by Rajendra Nayak on Jul 03, 2007 05:46 PM

The global warming is going to stay all over the world and kill all of us. It is nature's fury. There is no point in blaming anybody b'coz the climatologists feel that whole seasons rainfall of say 2500 mm can be over in 10 to 15 days in the coming years. Mumbai received 960 mm rainfall in one day. The former high lying areas have been created now into low lying areas by filling the adjacent low lying areas. This goes on. The railway tracks were at a higher level once upon a time and all around the railway tracks, construction activity has given rise to higher plinths and the water starts accumulating on the tracks. Let the railway tracks and roads be elevated by 4 to 5 feet and the people can move during any calamity because the future is bleek for everybody due to very high precipitation in a couple of hours. 2000mm of seasons rainfall may be over in 4 to 5 days and the rest of the 360 days there will be no raifall. This is going to happen in our lifetime. We have to change ourselves and increase the height of all low lying areas where human population exists. Life is precious and we can not afford to lose human beings getting drowned for no fault of theirs.
