Water Shortage Part-I

Today I am going to tell you about the shortage of water we are facing in India, you may also have the same situation in your area. India is the second largest populated country. We need more water for agriculture purpose and for our personal use. The water sources are underground water, rainwater, rivers, ponds or dams. Due to excessive pumping out of under ground water, it is going low. But it is still the main source. The rivers are also not getting much water. When it rains heavily we faced flood situation, but when it did not we face water crises. (I think that’s the nature and excessiveness of everything is bad.) In rainy season, we are not concerned about the uses of water and we don’t preserve water. But come summer and the situation worsen. In summers, we talk about shortage of water, decline of water level in the country, pure drinking water and so on. Most of us don’t care much about water crises, but the reality is that we are facing severe shortage of drinking water. There are lot of reasons for such shortage and some how we all are responsible for this.

As I said earlier underground water is the main source of drinking water. Though we get good rain in rainy season but still we faced shortage of water in summers. Reasons for that are the ponds situated near the cities for providing drinking water are not being filled properly. Because enough water does not reach in the ponds due to large scale of constructions taken place in the city. Earlier the same water reached the ponds and recharged nearby wells, but now it is not happening. The governments or the concerned officials are not taking care of these facts. What the government or the Municipal Corporations in the cities doing is that they are digging hand pumps in almost every colony of the city. But from where these hand pumps get water, is there underground water available in every colony? The answer is ‘No’, after installing hand pumps no one cares about them whether the water from these hand pumps are coming or not. Waste of money. I am concluding here that part otherwise it will be long.
