Blair, Sept 04: Of course, awareness is an ultimate solution to any problem,
which offers more than just hope though. It can to lead to action, to be
effective in efforts in upcoming years. It is also important to make awareness
among students and young generation to let them know the value of water.
Obviously,
in the view of the scarcity of water during all seasons except monsoon
prevailing in the mainland India, as a solution to this essential problem
"Jal Shakti Abhiyan" was initiated by Hon'ble Prime Minister of
India, Shri Narendra Modiji in all over the country in mitigating the water
scarcity in upcoming years.
Till
now, the A&N Islands are being blessed with sufficient rainfall and water,
but it all depends on human that, how do they manage the water to fulfill the
requirement of human essential needs? Beside monsoon, one can observe rain fall
take place in almost all seasons in these Andaman & Nicobar Islands. But
letting water easily flow to the sea is definitely a human made big mistake.
For
an example, crores of funds provided by the administration to various Gram
Panchayats to construct check dams in their respective villages to conserve the
water, and work also done as well. But, as per reports, few got damaged in few
years, and the Pradhans of respective villages were managed to fulfill the
requirement of water in villages by outsourcing water supply since many years
during summer seasons.
Secondly,
approximately 5 years ago, crores worth machinery installed at Chatham to
purify sea water and to supply for community usage purpose. Moreover, steel
water tanks also installed at many prime locations, but are now left just to
rust as purposeless steel box, without pouring a single drop of proposed
'purified sea water' into the tanks since then. Reasons for the failure of the
project, best know the administration.
However,
if properly manage water resources in the A&N Islands, our Islands can be
capable to supply water to the needy places in our country and as well as
neighboring countries.
