Water

Came across this piece trying to get some info on rainwater harvesting ideas.By ZenRainMan on the Rainwater Blog - Bangalore - the water in summer

Some good advise. Makes a lot of sense. But how long will it be before our actions start making sense too?

 

"Unfortunately for us the vision for water is a 50 year one and the vision of democracy at local levels is for 5 years at the most. This mismatch does not yield optimal solutions. Hence instead of demanding more recharge structures and the cleaning and protection of lakes we demand more bore-wells to extract more water and deplete groundwaters further."

 

So true!

Karnataka has a long coastline that can be put to good use. All it takes is a set of forward thinking visionaries.
