Water, the blue gold of the 21st Century !

The future wars will be over water !

There are more than 30 countries which are water deficient. UAE, Kuwait, Israel, Egypt, Malta, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Moldavia, Oman etc

Some water rich countries are Canada, Iceland, Guyana, Surinam, Papua New Guinea, Gabon, Solomon Islands, Norway, Panama, Brazil etc.

By 2012, Pakistan will become a water deficient country. Northen China is already water deficient.

Beautiful Kerala is a creation of the rainfalls and water rich Kerala is on her way to becoming a water deficient province ! Unless Rainwater Harvesting is enforced !

Reasons are naked.

Severe habitat destruction
Deforestation
Encroachment of evergreen tropical forests
Soaring residential and commercial construction
Illegal sandmining leading to decimated riverbeds
Industrial pollution and rivers dying
Abandonment of loss making paddy fields
( losses due to high labor charge )
Disappearing wells
Wiping out of reservoirs and catchment areas


Global warming is a reality. Heat waves are on the increase. There is a depletion of biodiversity and water resources. Let us stop Global warming by planting trees ! Let us use water conservation technologies like Drip Irrigation and Rainwater Harvesting to conserve the Blue Gold !
