DECLINE IN GROUND WATER - environmental degradation POSSIBILITY -we may exhaust all the ground water resources much to the chagrin of our future generations. Rain –water harvesting is a very old tradition in our country. Popular in the water scarce areas - right from the Himalayas to Kanyakumari However, with the passage of time and modernization, the traditional wisdom got buried under the bane of development. Now that the situation of scarcity of drinking water, especially in the cities, has reached an alarming level, the need is to revive the ancient techniques and methodologies to harvest and conserve water, albeit with the latest scientific and technical inputs.
