I am sure you would fall ill if you drink
this water but in reality, there are many villages like the one in picture
where the people are solely dependent on such water resources for their
drinking purposes. Low cost water purifies and RO systems are alien terms to
such places. The villagers do follow some conventional water purification
techniques but do you think it is enough??
Story of a village in Udaipur District.
Anicuts, small water harvesting masonry dam constructed across a
stream to hold sufficient water and submerge the upstream area during the rainy
season. Lots of money has been allocated to the construction of such structures
in past but we need to adopt more accurate techniques to hold surface water and
recharge the underground water tables.
Numerous wells have been dug throughout the
arid and semi arid areas that have led to a rapid decrease in the underground
water tables.
A masterpiece created under the effect of running
water on rocky hills. A sacred place known for diverse life forms living in its
vicinity.
Mehsara EDC, Bassi Range, Chittorgarh
District.
Seasonal River or a seasonal highway for
rural transport??
