Solution to acute water shortage

Rainwater Harvesting and Drip Irrigation Technologies are the solution to the water problem. By 2013, 32 nations will be facing acute water shortage.

Water conservation is extremely important and the above mentioned are water conservation technologies. It is time humanity used these technologies for water conservation.

Farmers in Gujarat have gone hi tech, after their visit to Israel. Israelis made their deserts bloom with drip irrigation technology and Israel is a leader in this field.

Half of Israel is desert land and Israel was facing acute water shortage. The Israelis solved the problem by Drip Irrigation Technology !

Rainwater Drip Irrigation is the combination of both. Rainwater harvested from rains is used as the Drip Irrigation Tank.

Suppose out of the 8760 odd hours in a year, we get 100 hours of rainfall. We can harvest 200,000 litres of rain water, which can be used for irrigation and flushing. If we can use Aquaguard or such water filters, we can make the water potable. This is the wisdom behind Rainwater Harvesting. Only the nominal initial investment is painful. We can save money, water and time ! No need to take the hose and water the garden for one hour, no need to start the motor and irrigate the farm for another hour ! Hours are saved. Water is saved and ultimately money is saved, as rainwater is free !
