Explanation:
Rivers are the very origin of our civilization. We are who we are because of our rivers. Our ancient civilizations took birth and grew along their courses, and died when the rivers shifted course. Particularly in the making of India, ancient Bharat has always been referred to as the land of seven rivers. The great civilization of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro came up along the Indus, Sutlej and ancient Saraswati. The southern part of civilization developed around the Krishna, Kaveri and Godavari rivers. In this land, rivers have been so significant that we worship them. Unfortunately, worship we do, but we have not taken care of them.
Today, India’s rivers are depleting at an alarming rate. Many perennial rivers are headed towards becoming seasonal in the next two decades. Already, the most significant rivers of southern India reach the ocean only a few months in a year. The Ganga and Indus are now among the most endangered rivers on the planet. Many of the smaller rivers and streams have already vanished. Drinking water has become scarce in many places.
India’s food and water crisis
In the last few decades, the nation has focused on how to utilize rivers by constructing dams and canals to grow more food from our rivers. We produce food for a billion people. This is an incredible achievement. However, in this process, we are headed towards a situation where the next generations will have no food to eat or water to drink.
We are destroying our soil and water resources at such a rate that within the next two decades, we will be unable to feed our population or quench their thirst. This is not a doomsday prediction. The evidence that we are headed towards this is unequivocal.
India is losing nearly 5.3 billion tons of topsoil per year. This is nearly a millimeter of topsoil annually. If we continue along this path, all the topsoil in the country will completely disappear in thirty-five to forty years. Our ability to grow food is receding dramatically. India has already lost 25% of its topsoil. If this continues, we are working towards turning this land into a desert.
