 Water, one's basic requirement, is the need of the hour and with failing monsoons year after year we have to solve the crucial problem by conserving rain water. Of course, we are still awaiting the rains but let us be prepared when the occasion demands it. We have no choice but to adopt better water management techniques, such as, harvesting of rain water, recharging the underground
aquifers, construction of underground tables in rivers to recharge wells,
borewells, ponds, etc. Instead of just depending on the government for this crisis to be solved, let us as citizens do our might to safeguard our basic interests and store the diminishing commodity.
The simple technique of rainwater harvesting is to save and store the water running off from a roof and using it for indoor needs. Artificial recharge is a process of augmenting the
 underground water table by artificial infiltration of rainwater and surface run off. Studies show that the ground water table level is depleting alarmingly due to excessive tapping of underground water. The pace of development and the ever-increasing population in urban areas has led to the over exploitation of available water resources. Therefore, artificial recharge is very essential.
