Green Campaigns -Real or Reel

Green Campaigns -Real or Reel

It is a pity 'man'  refuses to accept that the earth we live in, is endangered. Earth is also a living,thriving biological being and hence the statement is right. He searches for water by digging deep into the earth and pockets it, bottles it and is selling it. A litre of petrol is Rupees seventy in India (1.2 dollars)  and a litre of quality water bottle is Rs.Twenty five. Days are fast approaching when water would become costlier than fossil fuels. 

He feels the sea water can be utilised for human consumption and it it is not untrue.But one has to see the cost behind such venture. Hardly 10% of our human population is living close to the  sea shores and all the nations are not in a position to establish and maintain desalination plants.

'It seems strange that water should be such a scarce resource when our planet is drenched in 326 million trillion gallons of the stuff. But it turns out that less than one-half of 1 percent of it is drinkable. Out of the rest, 98 percent is oceanic salt water and 1.5 percent remains locked up in icecaps and glaciers. The stark irony of Samuel Coleridge's immortal line "Water, water, everywhere / Nor any drop to drink" is manifest each year in coastal disasters around the world, like Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, as people within sight of entire oceans are threatened with dehydration."

Between droughts, natural disasters and the large-scale redistribution of moisture threatened by climate change, the need for new sources of potable water grows with each passing day. Each year, the global population swells by another 85 million people, but worldwide demand for freshwater increases at twice the rate of population growth, doubling every 20 years or so. Throughout the world, our most vital resource is under stress from pollution, dam construction, wetland and riparian ecosystem destruction, and depletion of groundwater aquifers, with poor and marginalized populations getting the worst of it.

So our people should not be misled by the sight of the mighty seas and the attractive glaciers. Today almost all the rivers in the world are dying. It is an undeniable fact. They are shrinking in size or already they are dead without the flow of water with the flow of gutter. The rains have become undependable and the fresh water lakes inside the plains are fast becoming  human habitations or industries.
