Taming the rain water

We all do know the earth’s surface is drying up. And at the same time the underground water is being exhausted at an alarming rate. If we do not take any corrective action NOW, the future of LIFE on the planet is at stake.

The only solution is to saturate the earth’s underground with rain water. This can be achieved by adopting the following systems meant, among other important things, for the underground and over ground distribution of rain water.

1. SUBMERGED WATER WELLS SYSTEM, ( SWWS). Retain , Reserve , Distribute and Recharge the rain water

2. OVERGROUND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (OWDS). Ensures continuous supply of water to the SWWS

OWDS consists of the existing major dams ,innumerable interconnected minor dams and interconnected concrete super reservoirs built over the ground scattered all over the country, at least one in each village. The dams can be considered as the Primary sources and the interconnected reservoirs as the Secondary sources of water for the SWWS.

Water can be released from these sources as and when required. The Primary and Secondary sources together ensure the SWWS is always filled with water to the top, irrespective of the quantity of water taken out from the SWWS.

An array of interconnected minor dams can be built at appropriate places along the mountain valleys, without seriously affecting the ecology. It is possible to revive the dead and or dying rivers if sufficient interconnected minor dams can be built to hold the rain water flowing from the mountains.

If there is no water, there is no life because water, we know, is one of the primary ingredients of life. We can say it is a boon to life and life activities. But when in excess, it can easily be a killer of terrestrial life. Energised water has the power to kill, destroy and devastate everything on its way and every year /season, it is demonstrating its might and fury over the helpless inhabitants of the earth.

Therefore let us all work together and tame the rain water to save us from global water shortages as well as of damages from extreme flow of rain water But dreaming of total flood control will be like asking too much. However, there is a remote possibility, as the numerous minor dams are interconnected and therefore of huge combined capacity. Artificial lakes may also be constructed on the path of the flows.
