Instances for water Issues in India
Last year I have read about Delhi Jal Board was in dilemma in festive season.
Recently I got to know Naneli residents outcry for water disaster in Valpoi. They are facing water shortfall from last a year. Locals endangered arrange a big protest and give ultimatum for Eight days, to government. Before they also did these kind of march but government did not take any action.
Pune’s people were also struggle for water problems from last many years. Mumbai is also cutting 15 % of water from some cities and village. In India there are several areas which are facing water problems.
Now the question is why we are covering these issues.
- In many areas lots of flood and drought conditions in some states.
- Groundwater is also decreasing. This is because of unplanning use of water.
- Some are use water more than requirement and others have not even for drinking.
- Next reason is corrupted government. More industries less trees is also a big reason for water shortage.
- We are also a reason of it, because population in India is too much and less resources.
- Other reason is climate change; due to more heat water is drying from earth.
- We are build industries on everywhere to cut the trees, these industries spread pollution and increase risk of drinking water.
- We are waste lots of water, for example during bath we take high flow shower.
- In agriculture we also use water in wrong way and waste it.
