It is a matter of concern that the residents of Delhi are not serious about rain water harvesting. Every year there is a shortage of drinking water and in the monsoon lakhs of liters of water goes waste. Despite this situation, not being aware of the people is also worrying. The water board had designed the design of rain water harvesting machine last year so that the residents could make recharge pits in their homes for rain water harvesting at low cost.
Rain centers were also started in three districts, but people were not able to get technical information about setting up rain water harvesting machines there. In this case, the Water Board has put the plan to open the Rain Center in the remaining nine districts in cold storage. Meaning, the Delhiites themselves are indifferent to the conservation of drinking water, they are avoiding contributing or participating in the water board's efforts. One, the considerable aspect is that drinking water is a precious gift of nature, whose protection is extremely important. The sources of drinking water are also going down. The result of this is that water rationing has started in different areas of Delhi. In most areas, water is supplied in the morning and evening, during that time also during the specified hours. On the other hand, the level of ground water in Delhi is also continuously falling. According to data received from the Water Board, 381 million cubic meters (MCM) ground water is being exploited every year. In comparison, barely 281 MCM of water recharge is in the rain. Thus, every year 100 MCM of groundwater is being exploited, whereas, according to one estimate, about 200 cubic million liters of water in the capital goes waste in the absence of any solid preparation during the monsoon. If this water can be saved, then the need for Delhiites can be fulfilled for three months. Overall, it can be said that water conservation time is needed and public awareness is equally important for this. Success will only take place in all active roles.
