Dosto,

As you are aware, the origin of Ganga river which one of the main source water of India, is from Uttarakhand (Gaumukh). There are some other rivers  orginating from Uttarakhand which are also the source of water for other state also.

Secondly, there several natural sources of water in Uttarakhand which have now starated depleting due to clear reasons of deforstation etc. People have to walk miles for water. This is really as cause of concern.

I am reproducing a related news here. I would seek you valuable views on the subject that what should be done this regards.

Water crisis cripples life in Uttarakhand
From our ANI Correspondent

Thati (Uttarakhand), Oct 6: A crippling water crisis has gripped several villages in Uttarakhand.


According to reports, most streams have dried up and reservoirs have run out of water. To add to their woes, the availability of clean water is a common problem.

"The water here is very dirty. Both people and animals wash, clean and bath here. We drink the same water," said Sita Parmar, a resident of Thati village.

Residents claimed the problem had been with them for more than a decade.

Three rivers - Ganges, Mahakali and Alaknanda - flow through Uttarakhand, formerly called Uttaranchal.

These rivers meet the water requirements of neighbouring states. But ironically, the people here have to trudge for miles to fetch a pot of drinking water.

The State Government claims to have drawn up several schemes for supplying water to villages, but most of them remains on paper.

"The water in these villages is polluted. But as per the guidelines of the Government of India, we are supposed to prioritise things. First of all, we cater to the villages that have no water supply, then those that have partial water supply and then come these villages that have polluted water," said R. Meenakshi Sundaram, district magistrate, Uttarakhand.

The region is also prone to natural calamities.

Experts, however, believe that the water crisis has largely been caused by the mismanagement of the existing water resources.

Out of the 13 districts in Uttaranchal, 11 districts do not have enough drinking water. Some of the water projects developed to cater to the needs of the districts, are more than 15 years old and do not cover all villages.

Friends,
Water crises is a common phenomenon in every part of the country, we are lucky that we have no such water crises.  Whatever are the problems those are just because of misuse and lack of proper utilisation of Water Resources.  What Uttarakhand people require is that we should go to our past and use the measure taken by our forefahther to conservre water and environment.
Famous environmetalist like Dr. Sunder Lal Bahuguna, Chandi Prasad Bhat and Dr. Rajender Singh also insist on using old methods of water and environment conservation.

बेरीनाग के कई गांवों में जबरदस्त पेयजल संकट

 बेरीनाग(पिथौरागढ़)। विकासखण्ड के ग्रामसभा दसौली व डौणूं क्षेत्र में भारी वर्षा से ध्वस्त हुई पेयजल योजनाओं में विभाग द्वारा सुधारीकरण नहीं किया गया है। इसके चलते विकासखण्ड के आधार दर्जन से अधिक गांवों में जबरदस्त पेयजल संकट पैदा हो गया है। दशौली के ग्राम प्रधान कस्तुबानन्द पाठक ने बताया कि बरसात में गांवों को जोड़ने वाली तीनों पेयजल योजनाऐं ध्वस्त हो गयी थी। ग्रामवासियों ने विभाग को योजनाओं को ठीक करने को लेकर कई बार लिखित व मौखिक रूप से अवगत करा दिया है, लेकिन विभाग द्वारा सुध नहीं लिये जाने से क्षेत्र के दसौली, डौणू, चिलविला, गेल्थी व तुसरेडा गांवों में पेयजल की भारी किल्लत हो रही है। ग्रामीणों को कई किलोमीटरों से पानी ढोकर पीना पड़ रहा है। परेशान ग्रामीणों ने ध्वस्त पड़ी पेयजल योजनाओं को यथाशीघ्र ठीक नहीं किए जाने पर आंदोलन की चेतावनी दी है।

I think that rain water harvesting is the best method to fight water crisis.

The time has come that we should understand our strength and not leave everything on government.  Agitation on any issue is just like doing postmortem of a dead boy, it is not cure of the disease.  We have to go to the cause of problem, we should understand our responsibility as a community.  Before demanding from the government we should have a solid plan about the solution of the problem, so that we can put up a solution to the problem before the government and compel them to take quick action. 
 
Specially in rural areas of hills the people should must try to revive the old methods of water harvesting and should be done with the combine efforts of the all.  Most of the time what is hapenning, due to our personal issues the social issues left behind and the polyticians, beaurocrates and babus in the government all take advantage of it and the problem is never solved after spending a huge money time to time.
