When we look for new homes, we ask for swimming pools, clubs, community hall, Gym and what not, but how many of us check if rain water harvesting is in place???
The rains are normal!!! But, the way WE have structured ourselves is too bad and we can't even face these normal rains. I still remember the days of childhood when rains use to continue for 3-4 days together, but we never faced as much as we face today.
Think what we have done to the rain water???
Today it pours on to your roof tops, and RUNS to drainages!!! Where is place for MOTHER EARTH to take a SIP of it??? We our applying pathces to the face of Earth.
Having said that, Now what???
We should come up with a system, at ROOT level, which stores rain water.
If we start doing that, the SUDDEN WATER LOG can be controlled to a great extent.
Who will do that???
US!!! Every house will have to do that!!!
How long will we keep the rain water running away from us????
You would think it's a joke!! How'z that possible?
Remember the Squirrel story from Ramayana?? So, let's stand and say "I will do my part!!!"
