How can India tackle its water crisis? – BBC News

Published

on



“Twenty-one of India’s major cities may run out of ground water as early as 2020 according to a government report. Some experts contest that assessment but daily water woes are a part of life for almost half of the country’s population.

The southern city of Chennai, where reservoirs are drying up due to a delayed monsoon and poor water management, is severely affected. Residents there have been queuing up to collect water from rationed government services, and schools, hospitals and restaurants are struggling to cope. Meanwhile, the Indian government has set up a new Jal Shakti (water power) Ministry, and is proposing a massive project to interlink India’s rivers as an answer to the water crisis.

We focus on water conservation and management solutions to India’s water crisis. We speak to a water activist based in Chennai who restores lakes and ponds, the head of a Delhi-based non-profit that works to recharge groundwater, and a water expert who specialises in rural irrigation economy and policy making.

Presenter: Devina Gupta

Contributors: Aditi Mukherjee, Principal Researcher, International Water Management Institute; Jyoti Sharma, President, FORCE Non-profit; Arun Krishnamurthy, Founder, Environmentalist Foundation of India

    The solutions are simple :
    1. Build canals to bring the waters from Indus kashmir, ganges n brahmaputra to the rest of india.
    2. Create artificial lakes to collect rain water and from flooded rivers as much as possible.
    3. Plant as many trees as possible not only in cities but also on hills. This may change the climate favourably.
    4. Desalinate sea water as much as possible.
    5. But i will not be surprised if the central authorities remain passive n reactive, foolish n stupid.

    American Ethics: Hanged Saddam on Eid day.
    Taliban Ethics: Forgiveness for everyone who will not attack and everyone can go anywhere they want. Kabul Airport fully functional so that whoever wants to leave may leave.

    … But Talibans are the terrorist against civilized Americans…

Private baby scan studios ‘a growing concern’ – BBC News

Published

on



A BBC News investigation has uncovered failures in the diagnosis of serious medical issues during private baby scans.

More than 200 studios across the UK now sell ultrasound scans, with hundreds of thousands being carried out each year.

But the BBC has uncovered evidence of women not being told about serious conditions and abnormalities.

The Care Quality Commission says there is good quality care in the industry but it has a “growing concern”.

Weightlifting and strength exercises could help people live longer – BBC News

Published

on



Activities which strengthen the muscles – like weightlifting – should be part of an older person’s weekly exercise routine, a study suggests.

People doing both aerobic and muscle exercises were more likely to live longer than those who did just one or the other, US researchers found.

But you don’t have to go to the gym – carrying heavy shopping bags, digging in the garden and pilates all count.
