Hi Vinay,
Your ideas are great and worth implementing. Rain water harvesting is the call of the day. You may be surprised to learn that in the Rajkot district of Gujarat, India, the ground water was at a depth of 152 meters, they implemented rain water harvesting with enthusiasm, the water table is now at 06 meters below the surface. Steams which were dry are now perennial, vegetation has sprouted up in wastelands and the farmers are very happy. The sub soil water in Mumbai (India) is brackish, in our housing society I was instrumental in installing a water harvesting plant, the water in our bore-well is now sweet. We must make an effort to return to nature what we take from her.

I have a suggestion sir.if we make rain water harvesting compulsory,then lot of flooding can be avoided.1.all rain water will go in instead flowing out.2.water table will rise.3.salinity of water in wells will decrease and hardwater will become fresh water.water problem will be solved .we will have more water were we want it not were we dont want it ,secondly i want to make an apeal that everybody on earth should celebrate his or her birthday by planting trees.and also celebrate happy and sad occasions by planting trees. thirdly i wamt to suggest sir that our waste land along highways and railway tracks should be handed over to pour landless labourers so that they can plant tress and flowers in that land,this will.1.beautify the ways.2.give them earning.3.take care of security of ways.4.stop encrochers.5.ownership of land stays with govt but the produce belongs to labourer.6.take care of environment regards .vinay
