Dear Readers: Ground water is most vital for human sustinence. Both quantity in aquifers and quality of water contained in them, are equally important. The sub soil regime is unique, it behaves as a sponge - soaking excess water in rainy times to release the water at times of hot summers. The sponge does another impottant function of absorbing seismic shocks at times of e-quakes and tremors. The sub soil stratas well knit by greens and moisture underneath the urban - habitats, gets sustained to do the desired function. If these layers when devoid of moisture/ water, become dry and drier and they turn rocky and harder. Its these hard rocks that can transmit all shock waves to land- surface having urban- structures. High risks and dangers are foreseen at these conditions. Therefore Rain Water Harvesting- RWH, recharging aquifers is needed to be carried out. Well wishes.
