Grave Water Crisis Ahead- Are We Ready for this?
Water is a mandatory requirement of life. India is facing the
most water problem at this time. Humans have been using nature's resources to
fulfill their needs in their lives. One of them is water. We have been more
dependent on the groundwater level to fulfill our requirement. Which is slowly
going down? The way in India there was a saying that rivers of milk flow here.
The generation that comes in the future, might not even believe that India was
a land of rivers considering the rate at which these rivers are drying. Baba Ram Rahim Ji’s initiative to save
water, through innovative techniques of agriculture has been saving millions of
gallons for water. Farmers are using these, techniques to help produce more
with less water. Although this number is quite less, based on the huge level of
farming activities employed all over the Nation.

In earlier days, there were millions of ponds in India, along
with millions of wells, lakes, and waterfalls. Thousands of rivers and grooves
that were lost today who cannot tell anyone. Only 40 percent of rainwater can
be used. The remaining 60 percent of the water goes through the oceans through
the streams. According to the report of Central Ground Water Board, due to
falling water levels in the interruptions, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have advised that the use of water should be done
wisely. The water level of reservoirs has declined by 20 percent from the average
of the last ten years of water storage. Central Ground Water Board monitors the
major reservoirs of the country. And issues figures from time to time. In the
CGWB report last week, it is said that if the water level in the depths of 300
meters in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan could go up, then the groundwater level
will be over in the next two decades. According to the report of Central Ground
Water Board, in the next 10 years, groundwater in western India can fall 100
meters. The report says that the groundwater level is falling from 51
centimeters every year. According to the report, 35.78 billion cubic meters of
annual groundwater extraction rate Groundwater level in Haryana has dropped by
2.20 meters in 5 years. This is a serious problem and before we wake up, it
might be too late. In fact, one major source from where we can cut down water is
in producing alcohol.
Baba Ram Rahim Ji has been asking the Governments to ban alcohol
since long, which is doing no good to the youngsters and on the other hand, millions of gallons of water is used up in its production. Will our governments
wake up to this for the betterment of people. Since long, this has been
identified as wastage by the rev. Saint, but nobody seems to care enough. And
now when the water crisis is the talk of the world, we surely need to find
alternatives at all levels. And seems like this proposed solution to cut on one
aspect of water consumption by Baba Ram Rahim Guru Ji definitely deserves efforts. But this can only happen if some
serious steps are planned by our policymakers.
The situation is no different in western parts of India. More
than 60 percent of the experiment is being done in the industrial area and in
agriculture. Thereby, the groundwater level is declining. There are reservoirs
around Aurangabad of Maharashtra, Nashik 100, and Nagpur 58 of Maharashtra.
Located in Marathwada, Yavatmal and its surrounding areas, it is getting worse.
The water of all the reservoirs is drying up. The drop in the water level of these
reservoirs has raised the concern of the people in the area. If it is analyzed
deeply, it does not seem too late to understand that the water crisis is also human
on the other side of human nature. Today, the availability of clean water in
India is not enough. Dangerous and poisonous water is thrown into river drains
by large industrial units. By which the water becomes contaminated. Which is
not worth drinking?
Now it's time to wake up. If we look deeply, then thousands of
gallons of water is wasted in
leakage and transit. We use water in daily activities without any
discretion. From which all these problems have been created by humans.
Therefore, we should think deeply about how water can be harvested. It is the
responsibility of all of us how to get out of the water crisis. Today the
groundwater level and water harvesting problem is becoming a problem. We all
have to try to bring awareness by running a campaign and how to prevent this
crisis from taking severe forms and simple measures can help save millions of
gallons of water every day. Seriousness from all of us about saving water is
the only need. Baba Ram Rahim Ji’s
awareness drives has had a huge impact on people’s day to day habits. With the banning of alcohol and other serious cuts on water consumption in industrial
and agricultural activities can tackles this issue to a huge extent.
