Jul-Sep In most parts of India rains are the major source of water, yet this water is allowed to flow in large measures as run-off to the seas. With an all-round scarcity of water, it is a paradox that rainwater is not conserved and harnessed, when it is available. On the other hand it causes soil erosion and water logging that affect the soil fertility. The article analyses this problem and calls for a judicious approach towards harvesting rainwater by making reservoirs and inter-basin links and adopting techniques for recharging of groundwatger. - Reproduced.
