Water Scarcity (WAKE UP CALL)
by crazyforsense on Jun 06, 2007 07:48 PM

Who cares!!!! We will fight for religion, caste, reservation etc etc.

Who cares about water or daily needs. Almost 60 years of independence and there have been very few governments that had the right priorities. These days the priorities of the Govt. (Cong., BJP, whoever the heck it is).....is more on the lines of.....what can we do to ensure our vote bank....as opposed to how do we solve INDIA's basic problems....like clean air, water & land.

Ofcourse we can't sit comfy blaming the politicians for all & sundry.....people have to take the blame too. Especially those people who have put things like religion, caste BEFORE things like basic development.

All in all, a good wake up call. Hopefully Indian Leaders will unite and solve the REAL issues.

Friends, I was recently talking to a respected Geologist and his prediction was.....The scenario 50 years from now is something like this....Even if all our cities recycle SEWERAGE....yep sewerage.....there still will be water shortage for drinking purposes...He was happy we wouldn't have to live to see that day....most of us will though.

I am disappointed at the lack of awareness amongst the powers to be...where is the leadership?
