    We'll have to work really, really hard to make Mangaluru a really smart city.

    Thank God for the rains! It seems to be a very good omen. Let's get going and do our part of the job, with assistance from mother nature.

    Meteorological department has predicted good monsoon this time. The pre-monsoon showers are therefore as expected. Of course this is a huge relief for all of us without water.
    Lets not forget our individual responsibility for rainwater harvesting. We cannot simply say our prayers are heard and continue washing off our hands to the responsibility that we individuals have. Hani Koodi halla is very apt expression for micro level rain water conservation.
    All the areas that are without water : these same areas allow the rain water to go waste during monsoon. Every 20 Km if there is a lake rain water can percolate down and especially towards the end of the monsoon can can serve to retain the ground water level for few more months.

    I tend to believe: God helps those who help themselves. Lets pray for unity and wisdom to act on rain water harvesting to take DEEP ROOTS in our coastal region.

    Very True. God has helped us even though we have neglected the natural resources. We should keep in mind that nature's resources has to be used very carefully. Because it is not only human beings but also others like animals, trees and all other components of earth require them and it their right also. We humans think that natural resources are only meant for us.
    So we should care in this regard.
    Following would help in preserving water.
    1. Rain water harvest.
    2. Rejuvenate wells lakes or ponds and use it instead of only depending on river water.
    3. Clean river.
    4. Plant trees.
    5. Never damage nature by filling wells & ponds, cutting trees, destroying mountains etc

    Time for SID to go to bed for Nidde. Work done by nature. In DK only our DC Mr. Ibrahim was the worried man due to water shortage. All other MP's and MLA's went underground during the tough situation. Now you can see all of them coming out of the den and showing their 32 teeths. Why do we need such representatives guys.

    The disagrees are either not humans or are stones or rocks who need no water for survival.

    stop percolating into the seas/oceans a mere waste...
    1/ build mini/micro dams.
    2/Build diaphragm walls in catchment areas..
    3/dig bore wells..
    4/collect the water in reservoirs and distribute it evenly building 3 meters dia Steel or pipes..
    5/ seek advise..consult nations like Israel...japan.. koreans
    china.

    abdulla, you have said everything, 90% of which we should not do!. What you have missed is nature!. Do you know that planting more trees and conserving whatever is left is the best solution for all water problems!. Roots of trees run deep and these take the water to the deepest points inside the earth. Also the organic things like leaves make the earth porous thereby helping in water absorption. Have you seen water flowing out of thick forests!?. Today every building, every path is covered with interlocking blocks and people think its beautiful!. Unless we think deeper and change our mindset, all our artificial methods will fail ultimately!.

    Once again God heard the outcry of the people and provided with what is timely required!!! There is an understanding between the earth and God. I believe someone was a saint who prayed for rain. One who didn't make any sin claim the credit!!!!!!
