Install rain water harvesting is one step we should take. Again we should use our natural resources judiciously so that we will have them. Do we really need to wash to balcony , the windows everyday with buckets of water?? I have seen lot of housewives and maids doing this every morninf and I feel like going and preaching them on this. Please stop if this is happening at your house. |

Yes Shalini rain water harvesting is a good word but how many of us understand what rain water harvesting is all about and how to take the first step. The government should take initiative to make wide scale publicity about the same and show people how to do it at no cost to the benefit of the persons concerned.

Yes rain water harvesting at home, municipal, city level / multi-level like check-dam, deepening lakes etc.. Government shall publish water table and award the best area who improve water table year on year consistently. Be it public or private, any tap that leaks shall be fined like a criminal offence. Tree cutting for what ever reason must be approved by a team of 10 persons aged above 60 nominated and approved by ministry of forest.

Step :- 1) Stop Water car cleaning for three days in a week,(Each and every flat, securities cleaning atleast three days they will wash the cars). Oneday water clean is enough. 2) for Gardening every body should use recycled water. 3) Switch off the computer after working hours, instead of locking the system. 4) Fix mosquito net for Windows and open the windows in night times, don’t use fans and ACs :-)) or simple buy UPS

We should recycle the used water & again reuse it for daily use.
Also it should become mandatory in most of the coties as per new development rules.
Thanks for referral, Shalini.

In London, the water one drinks was recycled a minimum of 7 times so recycling of water is good. But in our country, the used water is connected to lakes, rivers which ultimately go into sea.

We need to develop the habit of conserving our natural resources! We studied in text books, teach our children, but when it comes to application, our usage pattern becomes "wayward"! We all know that this situation is repeated every summer, yet, our energy requirement is increasing day by day. "Charity begins at Home", no Government Agency would be able to sort this problem out, in the given scenario of population explosion!

The life of elders are over as they can not or will not learn and they should understand that the crisis has come because of their negligence in teaching and adopting good things in the subject matter.Most of us enjoy our lives in so called luxury using all gadgets unnecessarily wasting water and power.Then go to doctors and gyms to correct or 'build' health.None of us like rains but require water from taps.Governments are such that if you want to eliminate some thing,a development program should be be started and it will wipe that out,.Hence we should educate children of 13 or 14 years,about these things and they alone can understand and at least it will start working in few years.

Vishwanathan....single handedly won zillion and sachin could not even win one world cup with his own individual effort....it came as a GRANT to him....so sachin is way far to be considered as legend when compared to Mr. Vishwanathan Anand

I completely agree with Mr. Danke idea, but still we need to find atleast one alternate for Power cut.

Wasting water during non summer months has been all our habits when we don't bother when water is plenty. when summer starts we all are worried of water because we are used to use the same amount of water as what we used during non summer months.
Water discipline at all days should be our motto.
Best is to use Air condition for extreme hot times and switch of when not required.
Use innovative methods of saving our foods in refrigerators like what our forefathers/mothers did by cooking the required amount and heating the ones that are left over to keep it off the bacteria formation.
our body is so wonderful that it adjusts to the best of climate change.But the habit of being used to old luxuries is a problem for all of us.
For rich they have the inverters and generators fo the poor and who cannot afford these facilities one has to improve the cooling systems of our homes like what people used to build high roof building with ventilators on top or fix a false sheet ,may be tarpaulin or some other material that could deflect the radiation during summer
or use plants on the roof top to keep the house cool.
Use cotton dresses to absorb the sweat.
Have improvised led lights , petromax lights for lighting and gas for cooking rather hot plates etc.
I think every lady is smart to know all these and mange things during summer .it is a ritual every summer. and we are used to these as a habit also.
The lesson learnt as what many who had commented is to save power and water when ever we can.
I appreciate all to just know what to do before a crisis comes and ot when a crisis there.

Fix the dynamo to car or any vehicle wheels, it will generate the power and we can store into the battery. We can use the batteries for home. Just think how many vehicles are running per day? Eg:- City buses can generate the power and they can use battery power at office. All the balconies, they can fix the dynamos and mornings just do the cycling and generate the power, and store it into the batteries. If we can do this, we will reduce our weight and we can generate the power. There are lot of ways we can generate power. |

It is really thoughtful to have such ideas.But most of the people educated atleast up to 12 th standard might be knowing the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can not be created or destroyed but there can be a change in form.Should we generate power through cars and buses,they will consume more fuel to help generating power.But the idea of cycling and power generating is excellent but our people prefer going to gyms spending money wasting their energy.If this is diverted and house hold chorus like washing,grinding etc can be done using human energy power problem can certainly be solved to a good extent.
Switch off electrical appliances when not in use & do not waste water for cleaning floors
|
1).Remember and constantly repeat to others to switch off all electrical appliances when not in use even for short periods. 2) Set ACs' at 25deg C or higher. 3). Do not use AC at peak load hours. 4). Shops & Commercial establishments should be fined heavily for consuming more than approved load. This is easily detected in present day electronic watthour meters. 5). Loose wiring & multiple plugs should be avoided. 6). Lifts when stationary should not be used for climbing one or 2 floors and avoided for decending the same. 7) Street lights should be switched off in early morning. At most places they can be operated conveniently from switches located in every locality; where not possible telephone nos. of controlling sub-station should be noted and residents should continuously pester them to operate regularly. 8). We should point out to shop keepers to reduce light where we feel it is being lit up in excess. For water preservation:- 1).Stop washing of floors daily. Use a wet mop. 2).Leaking taps must be repaired. 3). Water spill from desert coolers must be stopped. 4). Washing machines should be used for max no of clothes in one lot. 5) For bathing do not keep shower on for long periods. If regulated properly it saves water as compared to use of bucket and mug. Water from mug is wasted as 50% of it spills over to the floor..

Thanks,Shalini for referral With the on set of summer, the sale of Air Coolers or Air conditioners increases to keep homes some what cool. Your homes,cars,and other vehicles are dusted and washed every day.About 30-45% water and power consumption increases in summer. In summer rate of vaporisation of water sources also affect the supply. The average water consumption per head also increases. To get out of this situation,we have to develop to face summer weather,dust only the cars,use air coolers or conditioners between 12.00 hrs and 15.00 hrs.Wash homes alternate day. Keep your fridge with minimum of essentials. Consume summer fruits like, cucumbers,watermelons,muskmelons. These fruits will keep you cool and will reduce your water personal consumption of water and power as well. Enjoy the summer Cheers |

Power is a major problem even during other seasons, with the economy growing at fast rate more and more power is required until and unless ways and means to generate more power are found there will be a crisis. secondly power has to be distributed in the right way there are lot of distribution loss and also theft of power, if these areas are corrected a good amount of power can be saved. POWER SAVED TODAY IS THE POWER FOR TOMORROW' DEVELOPMENT.

If we have basic solutions then why should we go for some alternate ones...If we start acting right from today then it will never lead us to such problems.
Thus I think, till we don't create awareness in common people, we can never make worth use of water & electricity because even we use alternate ways to recycle water and produce energy, the much we save and provide to others, much they will use it and again we will face the same problem.So the ultimate solution to this problem is proper utilization of it.The reason behind all this is that we don't have advance technology and if we go for that then also it will take couple of years meanwhile our need is also going to increase.

Many innovative ideas are killed since it didnt have the support from the government.
I feel, Government should extend their support in RWH, Solar Scheme etc. For example, RWH is very effective and it has got more support from the people since government extend their support by giving 2% reduction in Taxes.
