We stare at the dregs of our ingenuity, at a resource scientifically misused. We are cawing alarmed. But we only keep cawing raucously at that. Let's get on, like the crow and fashion pebble by pebble to meet our needs.
The source of all water on earth is not the river, is not the underground aquifer, is not the lake, well or stream. Rain is the source of all water.
In India the monsoon is a deluge. Rain spatters the earth, fills ponds. Lakes brim. Rivers heave. But the monsoon is also brief. We receive most of its rainfall in just 100 hours out of 8,760 hours in a year. But is this enough to meet our water needs, provide food security and eradicate rural poverty? Why is cherrapunji today short of drinking water, when it gets more than eleven meters of rainfall annually?
Simply because it does not capture the rain that falls over it.
