Severe drought in Cities, Towns and Villages in India.
It is also becoming an International Problem due to various reasons.
Every year, due to drought or floods, we are all facing water problems in Cities, Towns and also in Villages. In the same way the drought problems also.
And all are facing the ‘Floods’ problem in the rainy season and at the time of storms and cyclones. All over the world, water in billions of TMC is going useless. Every year all countries are losing trillions of Currency, Properties, Human lives. These natural calamities are damaging the flora and fauna in Nature.
Not only India, many countries are facing this problem. Our Governments, planners, politicians are unable to solve this problem at least in the human habitat areas. Our country is a peninsular country. So, our country is facing more problems.
Our party is giving the international solution in a simple way to prevent both the drought conditions in summer, and floods in the rainy seasons, cyclones, and storms.
Our solution creates the International Revolution in Water Conservation for each and every City, Town, and Village and for all countries for recurring maximum benefits with minimum input expenditures. Yes, it is – One shot for Two Birds. IT IS THE ‘ B V P ’ PLAN…
Inkudu Guntalu (Pits) and other methods are for some benefits and lead to maximum recurring corruption. Our methods can harvest all flood water. We can utilize that water in a simple method in the summer and drought conditions. If the Govts. follow our methods, then the majority of floodwater can be stored as recharged water accordingly in the cities, towns, and in villages and can be utilized.

According to the statistics the World Bank estimates that by the year 2025, 3.25 billion people in 52 countries will live in conditions of water shortage. Our small step will make a great difference. Our Party is there to solve this issue in India and all over the world.
This Recurring drought is casting its evil effects on various parts of each and every country. The increasing temperatures, deficit rainfall over years, had serious implications on the water levels and agriculture in the country. The water scarcity was at an alarming level. Water had to be transported through trains in the country for certain areas according to situations. Why are we facing such a situation ? International and national solutions are giving very little benefits for us. Are we really responsible for this? Yes ! Lack of proper planning and increased recurring corruptions and water business all over the world is responsible.

100 drops of water are needed to fill a full teaspoon. Less than 2 percent of the water on earth is freshwater. Groundwater and polar ice caps contain most of that freshwater.
Due to Urbanization, people encroached upon our Agricultural lands, lakes, destroyed our forests and polluted our rivers in the disguise of progress. Each year more than five million people – most of them are children, die from illness caused by unsafe drinking water.
The water industry has more than 400 billion dollars a year business globally due to privatization. The water industry is one-third larger than global pharmaceuticals. Every year it is increasing. The average Britain person uses 10,000 gallons of water. This is 500 percent more than the average Indian’s usage. The total wastewater generated in India is to the tune of 22900 million liters per day. Of this quantity, only mere 5942 million liters is converted as drinking water.
Artificial Recharging methods in Urban Areas suggested: :
Recharging the groundwater are pits, Trenches, Wells, Shafts and Directly diverting runoff water into the existing wells and etc., The choice of method is governed by the local hydrogeology according to soil conditions for ultimate use.

Reasons for ground water depletion in most areas are – Increasing demand of ground water, Withdrawing more than recharge, Reduction of recharge area due to buildings, paved paths and roads, Diminishing surface water bodies Uncertain rainfall, Lack of Techniques to improve groundwater through Rainwater Harvesting.
Creation of recharge pits, trenches and shafts in building premises, open space, parks. Use of existing dry wells as recharge structures. Rooftop and road top rain water should be channeled into recharge structures. Protection and conservation of open areas, parks and surface water bodies is needed.
Progress is good but it should not to destroy the very basic necessity of life and this is nothing but greed had serious effect on the rainfall for a year, many Countries had received a deficit rainfall and we were not ready to accept for this. We live in nature so we have to protect the nature too by all means along with the development of our facilities to live in this world. The answer is water conservation. Water conservation is necessary because every drop of water is precious.

There are many ways for water conservation in cities and developing cities, towns, and villages and most importantly this should be a continuous activity involving every Government and citizen, in short, it should be a revolution. Bhagheeradha, Inkudu Guntalu, kakatiya are my past planning programs suggested between 10-15 years. The aim of these programs is to encourage people to dig water harvesting methods at their homes and villages with public representatives leading the campaign – how does a Rain Water Harvest pit work? Just dig an 8-foot hole into the ground and 4 feet width near the pump motor & add pieces of bricks and sand layer by layer until the hole is covered. Now just connect a pipe between the water sump and the pit. When it rains, all the water is absorbed by this pit thus recharging the groundwater. This is a simple technique of trapping rainwater and making it into use at homes. The major benefit is it is Low cost-efficient, there won’t be any need of spending a huge amount of money on digging borewells. But the house owner will lose that particular area of land which is permanent and after a period of time, the interest and process vanish. About 90% of groundwater is used for drinking purposes, these Rainwater harvest (RWH) pits will help in addressing the drinking water scarcity, particularly in summer. In Villages and Cities, there are many other methods. See the details in our previous related topics in BVP.

The RWH pit used in farms is larger pits where the rainwater can be used for irrigation or/and aquaculture. This saves the farmer the cost of digging borewells in arid areas. Precious rainwater can be used for irrigation without wasting even a single drop. This will also help the farmer in earning an extra income through raising aquaculture in these ponds. gardens, cattle raising, and many cottages and small-scale industries – which also control the migrations to other areas and cities.
Why should the rainwater harvesting is going limited in cities ?? Rainwater harvesting / Rooftop rainwater harvesting, Rooftop pits will be a great option particularly in apartments. This helps in addressing the constant water scarcity in cities. This is only for a limited sources of water. We can increase this.
Maintenance of Rainwater harvesting systems requires few skills and little supervision to operate. Major precautions are – the prevention of contamination of the tank during construction and while it is being replenished during rainfall. Contamination of the water supply as a result of contact with certain materials can be avoided by the use of proper materials during construction. The main sources of external contamination are pollution from the air, bird and animal droppings, insects, and dead bodies. Bacterial contamination may be minimized by keeping roof surfaces and drains clean but cannot be completely eliminated. If the water is to be used for drinking purposes, filtration and chlorination or disinfections by other means is also useful. For example, boiling of water.

Some maintenance guidelines should be considered in the operation of rainwater harvesting systems ::
Give importance for eliminating the “foul flush”. The first part of each rain about 10 minutes should be diverted from the storage tank. This is most likely to contain undesirable materials. These undesirable materials will be accumulated on the roof and other surfaces between two rains. Generally, water captured during the first 10 minutes of rain is unfit for drinking purposes.
The quantity of water lost by diverting this runoff is usually about 14l/m2 of catchment’s area. The storage tank should be checked and cleaned periodically. All tanks need cleaning. Tank designs should allow for this. Cleaning procedures – thorough scrubbing of the inner walls and floors. For this use of chlorine solution is recommended for cleaning, followed by thorough cleaning and rinsing.

Care should be taken to keep rainwater collection surfaces covered. This will reduce the likelihood of frogs, rats, mosquitoes, snakes, lizards, pigs, dogs, and other animals using the cistern as their shelter. Residents should prefer to take care to prevent such problems rather than have to take corrective actions, such as treating or removing water, at a later time.
Gutters and downpipes need to be periodically inspected and cleaned carefully. Periodic maintenance must also be carried out on any pumps used to lift water to selected areas in the house. More often than not, maintenance is done only when equipment breaks down. Households must establish a maintenance routine that will be carried out by the family members.
As a routine job, in some cases, the rainwater is treated with chlorine tablets by them. In most places, this chlorine tablets treatment is not needed. In such cases, residents should boil the water before they drink. Where cistern users do not treat their water, the quality of the water may be assured through the installation of commercially available in-line charcoal filters or other water treatment devices. Kindly note this is not possible everywhere.
