Rain Water Harvesting

Rain Water Harvesting

As we talk and think about conservation of water, Senaapathy Kangayam Cattle Research Foundation takes the initiatives in addressing the problem. We believe in:

“Save me Today,
To have me Tomorrow”

According to the UN world water development report India faces a severe water crisis. This crisis will intensify by 2050, it says.

Global advocacy group water aid in it report for 2018 has revealed that India is home to highest no of people (about  16.3 crores) without access to clean water.

Only 4% of world’s clean water is available in India which accounts for 18% of the world population as per NITI AYOG (Planning commission) report. This is alarming as it predicts by 2030, the water demand would be twice as much as the available supply.

By 2040 all the sources of portable water will probably be exhausted. 52% of India’s agriculture land reminds dependent on the vagaries of nature in the form of unreliable rainfall.

Creating water chemically is a very expensive affair. Indians should try and save water with cues taken from Capetonians, South Africa.

Rainwater harvesting, tree planting, deep ploughing during summer and other indigenous innovative solutions are more effective than high cost technologies.

A NASA report of 2009 says Indus basin is the second most overstressed aquifer in the world. It also stated that rate of exhaustion of ground water levels in India was about 1 Meter in every three years.

Recharging ground water will solve some of the basic problems. Though Central Ground Water Authority has an active role to play, plenty of room is available for private citizens and nonprofits to take substantial interest.

Water literacy, is very much the need of the hour in water management.

Senaapathy Kangayam cattle research foundation has been working on creating awareness on water harvesting, and training in establishing rainwater harvesting ponds, through public support.
