Save Water Save Bangalore
Many citizens of Bangalore have not felt the heat of water crisis looming large
in the next one or two months. No exaggeration. The water available in Cauvery
river and the KRS dam is at its lowest in decades! Most of the borewells /
tubewells have gone dry or are yielding very low water.
New borewells are being
drilled day in and day out, touching unheard of depths - 1000 feet and more.
However, we still see each
day on the streets of Bangalore -
Cars are being washed with hose pipes.
House
fronts and roads being sprayed with water in buckets and hose pipes.
Overhead
water tanks and underground sumps overflow with none paying heed.
Are we blind to these
acts?
Can we take the first step
to stop these?
Do we not have the social
responsibility to save whatsoever available water, to conserve and share
equitably among all sections of our society?
