Mittal Patel discusses water mangement |
When we started the work of water conservation we found it tough. We also had apprehension about whether we would be successful or not. However doggedly we pursued the task on hand. The result is that till date we have been able to revive 285 lakes.
Many have been helpful in this task which is the need of the hour.
The shortage of water has put several villages in a desperate situation. Our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been promoting the concept of "catch the rain" for the last two years. The conservation measures have been initiated in these last 2 years. This mission of conservation of water should continue unabated.
We have been desilting the lakes since last many years in order that the rain water is conserved in larger quantity. This work needs to be done more intensely. We have started this mission apart from Banaskantha in Patan too.
We desilted Banaskantha's old lake with the help received from the villagers and Sanjaybhai Shah of Star Chemicals. Sanjaybhai has been helping VSSM in its water conservation & other works. It is because of well wishers like him that we have successfully desilted 285 lakes. We wish that more villages need to take this mission seriously so that more rain water is conserved in the lakes and the problem of water scarcity is resolved.
