Many concerned people in India are becoming involved in water conservation. Some have been recognized internationally with awards, like Rajendra Singh, who received the prestigious Magsaysay Award for community development in 2001. Singh established a nongovernmental organization, which he utilised to revive the almost extinct Aravari River in the state of Rajasthan, a boon to a state with 8 percent of the country's population and only 1 percent of its water resources. Over the course of 15 years, Singh's group planted trees and built 3,500 tanks (traditional johads for harvesting water), bringing prosperity to local villagers. Others work at saving water, unnoticed by most, but with the feeling of satisfaction of knowing that they are helping out.

Industrialists observe the benefits of rainwater harvesting to supplement city water supplies. In a factory on the outskirts of Bangalore, in south India, a simple, inexpensive system of roofwater harvesting was erected. The rainwater, which formerly was lost on the highway was channelled into a tank with a capacity of 10,000 gallons or 42,000 litres. During monsoon time, 1,300 gallons or 6,000 litres a day of harvested water is processed for cleaning the food vessels and the factory canteen. No water is unnecessarily drawn for these everyday purposes from the city supplies.

You may feel it's just 'a drop in the bucket'. Picture it in this way; imagine you have a bank account to which money is added once a year. For your daily requirements, you have to withdraw from your account, but gradually you take out more than you put in. One day you will have an overdraft. If, however, for a few months of the year, you get work with more than sufficient pay to cover your daily requirements, your account will have a chance to accumulate. Regular cash flow is essential to maintaining a healthy savings reserve. Now apply this method to water conservation. Multiply your small savings millions of times, and what does it equal? Replenished water sources, a raising of the water table, a filling up of aquifers, and a supply of water to fall back on when the "pay" in the form of harvested rainwater ends. Remember, available water is limited; there can be no overdraft when there is no available water.

Our beautiful earth provides abundantly for its residents. Sadly though, over the centuries man's greed and short-sightedness have created ruinous living conditions for millions of earth's inhabitants. We just have to note the poor economy as one detrimental aspect of the "Afflenza" virus that has infected so many people's lives and has spread globally as a result. Poor investment choices, living beyond our means in the age of 'credit' has led an untold number of people into ruinous financial destruction and despair resulting in economic drought!
