(SUBHEAD) KAPURTHALA: Recalling the message of Gurus and expressing the dire need of taking effective measures to address the critical threat of ground water overexploitation Padam Shri Awardee Sewa Singh Ji said that if current trend of using water continues, about 60 percent of all aquifers in India will be in a critical condition in the next 15-20 years. Further, it’s easier to protect water resource now than to restore or recreate “later” which may be too late. We have to conserve more water and make efforts not to waste it. It is time to start implementing strategies that have demonstrated success in conservation and purification of water. These were the views expressed by him while speaking at the occasion of world water day celebration held at Science City. (MOREPIC2)
