Cape Town is drying: And Indian Cities will be next

Cape town has only 90 days water supply left. The aquifers and other natural resources are drying. A city located in midst of Indian Ocean and Atlantic cannot consume the saline water. Cape town crisis is the catastrophe for the entire mankind and soon this problem will occur in the other parts of the world. The signs of water crisis observed in the Indian Subcontinent as well. The 2016 Marthawada drought was discussed in all circles of the policymaking. But I believe that no comprehensive action plan is ready in India which could combat the water scarcity problem in the future. The whole credit of our present water crisis goes to each one of us. Because we are failed to understand the value of this precious resource and because we are still not insisting our governments to make punitive laws for wastage of water. Delhi and some other administrations at least ban the boring for water extraction for household purpose. But still no checks on the wastage of the water.  If the wastage problem will persist in Delhi, it will be completely dry in some time too. But, as of now, we can only hope that the world community would come forward to help Cape Town in a best possible manner to the life on earth.
