A standalone picture, “Battered by rain”, about the state of the Durgam Cheruvu lake in Hyderabad”, and a report, “Bengaluru records its wettest year” (both October 15) are reasons enough to explain why we are incapable of conserving and saving precious rainwater. One can hardly think of a State government that has given serious thought to rain water harvesting. Forget the government. None of those involved in real estate give thought to the need for RWH provisions. When India has sufficient rains, it is tragic that we let it run waste.
