Dear
Readers,
100
years from today, probably none of us
living on this earth today will continue to exist, but the earth will remain.
The people who live here will need good air to breathe, and safe water to
drink. These people who I am talking about are not our strangers , but our
future generation. We all have a moral responsibility, towards our future
generation.
Water
- A perennial requirement of all living
beings remains a threat owing to its abundance or scarcity at different points
of time. Specially in a country like India, where a major chunk of population
depends upon agriculture as a source of income, water problems such as floods
or draughts, determine the daily destiny of the masses. If there was a way to
channelise all the available natural water resources, so as to make it
available in regular quantities on a regular basis, it would certainly prove to
be the biggest boon for this country.
I
recently attended a seminar on “Networking of Rivers” by Prof.A.C.Kamaraj of
Madurai. The idea fired up my imagination. I have shared his ideas on the topic
“Networking of Rivers” in this issue of PALMS PLUS. As I am not a technical person, I was not able to
spot the flaws in his plan, but what I could see is that it is a worthy dream
and if only this project could be made a reality within the course of next 10
years, India will never have to restrict its growth for the reason called,
“WATER”.
The
month of May also marks the “Mother’s Day” and so here is a section containing,
“Quotes on Mothers” and a beautiful
short story “Child’s Angel”.
Happy Reading,
