DROUGHT IN MAHARASHTRA.

Winter is not over and ~10,000 villages are declared "drought affected".  How many more before the next monsoon?  How will Govt and Citizens manage the situation, for many of the123 million population, with no drinking water for human and animal.  Yes, we Citizens must PARTICIPATE and be ACCOUNTABLE in this tragedy. 

A simple TEANSPARENT, DECENTRALIZED solution having INTEGRITY is practical and possible. I for one have reverted to ideas from  my youth for bathing.  Sixty years ago, we all took bath from a Bucket with a Tumbler. Hot water was added to the cold water in the bucket. One bucket was sufficient for a Kid and TWO BUCKETS for an Adult. Toilet too needed a half bucket or just a Tumbler for urine.

The current trend of overhead/hand Shower (or Tub),  costs an adult,  SIX buckets for a quick 1:20 min before Soap and 1:40 min after Soap shower.   Thoughtless WASTERS may need 10 min Shower, or 20 buckets for a bath.  Tub users may waste 30 buckets or more.  The Toilet Flush button costs 1bucket or more for each use. 

The extra FOUR buckets (15 Liters each), could serve the entire water needs (cooking and drinking), of a drought hit FAMILY of 5, for TWO DAYS. 

THINK ABOUT THIS AND ACT NOW, ITS YOUR PARTICIPATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY.  MILLIONS in my Maharashtra, will desert their Homes/Lands and invade Towns and Cities, live as beggers, while Animals will die in their millions  in the Villages. Humans will despise Humans, while some will ignore this drought and continue like nothing happened. 

YOU CAN CHOOSE NOW!
