  1. New technologies in Agriculture.

    Agriculture dominates the freshwater use in many parts of the world. So the primary objective of some improved agriculture technologies is to reduce the water consumption. If we look at the current irrigation technologies over the traditional ones, then we can make out that the water efficiency is improved by using the new drip, sprinkler irrigation methods. New crop breeds are grown by the farmers so as to increase the crop production as well to reduce the water consumption. Farm ponds and farm lakes are something not relatively new techniques. But they are more in use these days with improved less seepage and evaporation methods. Which also minimizes the fresh water use in the agriculture. So, taking all these factors in the consideration we can say that the new agriculture technologies are showing measurable effects on the amount of fresh water used for food production.

    In my opinion there is water enough on this planet.

    There are four major aspects:

    - 1 do not pollute

    - 2 find ways for a good cleaning system for water

    - 3 are we willing to cooperate

    - 4 do we want to pay the collective price

    I am an innovator and working (also) on aspect 2.
