THE FAST DEPLETING WATER LEVELS ON PLANET EARTH CONNOTE DISASTER IN THE OFFING
http://www.shriramsharma.com/optimal_world_management.htm
A balance is noted amongst water, land and greenery/foliage. The moment this balance gets affected it influences earth’s production capacity and thus the level of water runs far away from man’s grasp and reach. Keeping in mind this mutual dependence a lot of emphasis must be given to augment tree/greenery growth especially in areas where rivers flow by. In a country like India monsoons last for about 3-4 months per year and all humans and creatures are dependent on these rain waters along with river water emanating from Himalayas, Vindhya Mountains and Western Ghats. Hence over here it is most required that rain water wealth be rendered secure for usage by plants, beasts and humans. There are only 2 options via which rendering steady the measure of rain water viz. stoppage of excess rain water present in rivers from entering the sea speedily and also by raising the heights of wells etc that give us underground table land water. For both these tasks thick dense forests proliferating manifold are most required. At present in India 48% water disappears in the form of steam and only 52% water can be used for agriculture, industries and household chores.
In earth’s temperate zones unlike earth’s torrid zones there is not much of a problem for rendering water secure whereas in temperate zones in order to render river flow normal people start cutting up jungles. In India after jungles were cut up water levels did not increase and instead during monsoons flooding increased manifold and in days of famine water levels depleted rapidly. It is the result of mismanagement of water procuring means that till 1972 areas prone to flooding measuring 20 million hectares rose up to 50 million hectares till the year 1992. Areas prone to famine situations rose up to 51 million hectares. Cutting up of forests merely for a few years in areas like Neura Valley, Darjeeling etc all founts of water virtually dried up. http://www.shriramsharma.com/optimal_world_management.htm In a report by UN there is a mention of the fact that although people realize that plants and trees require water to bloom yet people do not understand that when trees grow close to each other in large groups like in forests they help in collecting water. The measure of water levels below the ground depends on how much greenery blooms forth there on its surface. What is the content and structure of soil there? By keeping in mind this report of UN in areas prone to famine so as to augment the ground’s capacity to amass high water levels experiments like adding chemicals to soil there were executed yet desired results eluded them. Scientists opine that instead of going in for artificial solutions in areas of famine those trees must be grown that have the capacity to bestow carbonic fertilizers to the soil there. Along with this the method of farming using animals has been recommended as being very useful. They opine that where on the one hand ground water levels get affected due to forest cutting there even growing excess trees that are not conducive can add to depletion of ground water. In our country India growing eucalyptus trees sucks up underground water and thus decreases its levels alarmingly. These trees absorb a lot of water and create very little measure of fertilizers for soil there. Trees that originate in
India are very good for adding and hoarding ground water. Thus these very trees must be planted on a gigantic scale.
The fact that ground water levels are depleting rapidly it seems to be the result of lack of farsightedness on man’s part. By not keeping in mind that very limited water is available in certain areas where crops are grown if crops that absorb a lot of water are grown it becomes a major water related problem. Rice crops use up a lot of water. The fact that farmers use ground water to grow rice crops creates a lot of problems. An example of this is noted in Tamilnadu’s Coimbatore and nearby regions. In this area much more water is taken out from the ground to grow rice than the amount of water collected by the ground. As a result within 10 years the water level underground dipped 30 meters below. http://www.shriramsharma.com/optimal_world_management.htm In Maharashtra the situation is that much more serious. In this region the capacity of land to absorb and collect water underground is very meager. Since rocky stony areas predominate here water levels are very low in height. Along with augmenting of numbers of deeply dug up wells the region conducive for agriculture too has increased. Since a major portion of Maharashtra state is prone to famine conditions hence over here we can focus more on growing such crops that use less water for growth. By not focusing on nature’s optimal balance over here a lot of sugar cane is grown that sucks up a lot of water because financially this crop is very profitable. Thus the water levels are decreasing at a fearful pace. For example in 1981 in Tasgav district, deep wells were dug up which dried up within one year of digging. Again at a distance of 60 meters after digging deeply efforts were made to find water founts below yet this plan too after 1 year failed miserably. In this area wells used for personal use too have dried up. There are so many villages that are facing problems to get clean drinking water. In hot season mainly tankers are used to deliver water to such arid regions. According to geologists the ordinary belief is that in the absence of monsoons water levels dive downwards yet this is not totally true. Within the ground this process of water absorption goes on for a very long time span. For example in the Sahara Dessert every year, water collects in 4 square km area. If this pace of water collection continues for 4000 years this arid area of today shall become capable of blooming forth lush greenery. At the other end if the rate of removing water increases a lot from grounds in areas that get good rainfall then there is a greater possibility of those areas becoming arid desserts. A very big portion of the Roman Empire and Africa getting converted into huge desserts has become history of 1000 years. It is not as though only regions near desserts get converted into new desserts but that when humans use more and more water and cut up trees those areas get converted to desserts. A visible proof of this is the conversion of the Great Plain Area in USA getting converted into a dessert. http://www.shriramsharma.com/optimal_world_management.htm Within the imbalance of water cycle where on the one hand one cause is removing more water from the ground there at the other end when huge amounts of water gather in one area imbalance is seen to set in. In USA about 25% agricultural land due to a lot of saltiness and excess water collection has been rendered useless. In our country India irrigated agricultural land of 10 million hectares due has become a victim of excess water logging and in the coming years 25 million hectares of land shall get influenced by saltiness. When in those regions one can tap water at a depth of merely 1.5-2 meters it is said to be influenced by water logging.
Where on the one hand in India states like Maharashtra and Tamilnadu are fighting the problem of water levels getting lowered a great deal there in states like Punjab and Haryana excess water levels are becoming the cause of worry. What is needed is that in areas of tropical zones one understands correctly the mutually dependent activity between plants, land and water and by paying more attention to nature’s optimal balance schemes and programs for economic development must be designed. By encouraging more and more tree planting this water problem can easily be solved.
