Seeing the report of water going into hell in Bihar, CM Nitish Kumar is also in tension, is water crisis going to come?

News India Live, Digital Desk: In Bihar we often talk about floods and that the rivers are in spate. But, the other side of the coin is that the water beneath the ground on which we are standing is rapidly disappearing.

Yes, this is not a simple matter. The latest report has come to the Bihar government, CM Nitish Kumar And lines of worry have drawn on the foreheads of their officers. The situation has become such that in the winter season itself, when the water level should have been fine, it has gone down in many districts.

Let us understand in simple language what the matter is and why the government is so worried.

Throat is becoming dry in winter itself, what will happen in summer?

Generally the ground water level remains high after monsoon and in winter. But the Public Health Engineering Department (PHEDThe report that has come out is scary. A huge decline in groundwater level has been recorded in many districts of Bihar.

Its direct impact is on the common man.

• Handpumps are drying up: At many places in the villages, hand pumps have started releasing water or they have to be operated with great force.
• Threat to tap water scheme: Nitish Kumar’s ambitious ‘Tap water for every house’ scheme also depends on this groundwater. If there is no water below, how will water fill the tanks?

In which districts there is more trouble?

According to reports, the situation in South Bihar is worse. The ‘water layer’ has gone down significantly in districts like Gaya, Aurangabad, Jehanabad and Nawada. But it is a matter of concern that now the water level has started falling in some parts of North Bihar, where earlier there was no shortage of water.

Due to indiscriminate boring and construction of concrete forests (pucca houses/roads), rain water is not able to go underground, which is a major reason for this crisis.

What will the government do now?

CM Nitish Kumar, who is already ‘Water-Life-Greenery’ Very serious about the mission, very concerned about this new report. If sources are to be believed, the government is now preparing to take some strict steps:

1. Survey: Officials have been asked to monitor the water level at every block and panchayat level.
2. New Check Dam: New ponds and check dams will be built to hold water and send it to the ground (Water Recharge).
3. Strictness on boring: There may be more strictness on unnecessarily installing submersibles in cities.

our responsibility

Friends, the government is worrying about itself, but we also have to worry a little. If we do not save water now, the situation may become dire in the coming summer. Stop leaving taps open unnecessarily and focus on rain water harvesting as much as possible.

Because only if there is water, there is life. Otherwise no one will be able to save Bihar from remaining thirsty.
