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.

REQUEST TO THE EPAs OF THE WORLD

One of the three most important challenges the world is facing today is the GLOBAL WARMING and the world also knows very well that the causes of global warming are the ever increasing concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere. However, in spite of a lot of discussions, seminars and summits, until now the world leaders could not yet reach an effective plan of action for the reduction of GHG emissions. And we still do not know what will be the outcome of the summit in December in Copenhagen. Even if they reach a consensus, the period of implementation is likely to be too prolonged, as the heads of states may not compromise economic development for reduction in the emission of GHGs.

Therefore, under the circumstances, let the discussions, seminars and summits continue as planned .But simultaneously let us also TRY WAYS AND METHODS OTHER THAN THE REDUCTION OF GHG EMISSIONS to reduce the global warming.

1. Offset the CO2 in the atmosphere. (By promoting wild growth of plants in all uninhabited areas.)
2. Reduce or regulate the atmospheric temperature (BY creating a “GREENOSPHERE “ )
In order to achieve the above two, you know very well, what we primarily need is the water. So unless the global water crisis is solved, the reduction of global warming will only remain a mirage.
The responsibility to protect the environment should primarily rest with the land owners however small or big be the area of the land owned. Hence I request the EPAs of the world to force the respective governments to enact the required laws to legalize such responsibility of the land owners. New rules and regulations or amendments to the existing rules if any, to the following effect are suggested:-

1. Except in cities and thickly populated areas , all lands shall have interconnected water wells of small radius at the rate of at least 5 Nos. each per acre.(SUBMERGED WATER WELLS SYSTEM- SWWS)
2. All land owners shall be responsible to arrange (sand/soil) barriers of one to two feet high in their land in order to prevent the immediate run off of precipitation water and also to direct the precipitation water into the nearest well in the area.
3. Each land lord shall be required to promote wild growth of shrubs and trees in such lands which are uninhabited or not used for agricultural farming.
4. In other areas where ever possible the land lord shall create a “greenosphere.”
5. Non compliance with the above rules and regulations shall be treated as a criminal offence and such land owners are liable to be prosecuted as their actions or inactions promote complete destruction of LIFE from the planet earth and the punishment shall include attachment of ownership to the government.

The first two steps shall guarantee the availability of water in all places all the time wherever there are inter connected water wells.
Steps 3 and 4 will ensure that except in agricultural areas, almost all the terrestrial area of the earth shall be covered by a green blanket either by forest or greenosphere and will protect the earth from the infra red radiation and therefore the direct heat of the sun thereby reducing to a great extend or regulating the atmospheric temperature.
Step 5 will render it mandatory for the land owners to protect the environment over the land under his ownership.

If the governments formulate laws so as to make it mandatory for the land owners to implement steps 1 to 5, then
A. That will provide the world with a permanent solution for the water crisis.
B. Reduce the atmospheric temperature to a great extend in hot regions.
C. There will be a tremendous reduction in global warming.
