IAS guys had their planning executed. Ministries and their Political Masters have more faith either in their own faculties or the Foreign Companies to help them plan and splurge moneys. Local Community/ Panchayats are ill equipped and in-funded/ taxed with doles here and there to increase their dependence on government. It is not that we don't have engineers and techno-crates who could revolutionise Irrigation and water management. Our ancient/ historical surface water bearing ponds/ lakes have diminished while our population has grown over six folds.So, ideally rain/ surface water storage should have grown six folds too. And do we not know how to recharge our ground waters. Civil Engineers have no clues and even residential and commercial complexed are designed as Concrete jungles and we allow , even in planned cities , rain water or storm waters to flow into seasonal rivers to find its way into the sea. We have never planned even to put even a fraction of sweat waters to any recirculation or use well before good water gets into the sea and only Nature or Desal Plants can extract sweet water from oceans and seas. We can sure do much better job in utilisation and conservation of surface water and ground water but Govt. and the empowered ministries has NO ears and flexibility in creating any team work of hard core professionals who have ideas and technical expertise..and time with devotion to any cause.

Bonjour cher Lokesh

Comme je vous admire d'avoir une telle pensée, juste, vraie, réelle. En quelques mots vous soulevez le MAL de notre époque. Un élément à ajouter dans votre post: Toutes les eaux usées domesmtiques ne subissent aucun traitement d'épuration REEL. Elles sont rejetées tel qu'elles dans l'environnement, poluant toutes les milieux hydrauliques naturels de surface et bien entendu les réserves d'eaux souterrainnes  

Hello dear Lokesh

As I admire you for having such a thought, just, true, real. In a few words you raise the evil of our time. One element to add in your post: All domestic wastewater does not undergo any REEL treatment. They are rejected as they are in the environment, polluting all natural surface water environments and of course underground water reserves.
