THE FAST DEPLETING WATER LEVELS ON PLANET EARTH CONNOTE DISASTER IN THE OFFING

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
