WATER COPERATION

Today is celebrated as World Water Day.Every year March 22 is earmarked for conducting awareness campaign by UN about the subject 'WATER '. This practice started from the year 1992. They keep the subject alive on a particular theme . This year is the 'Year of International Water Coperation. '
Water is available in atmosphere in all the three forms -Solid,Liquid,Gas-Ice ,Water,and Steam .
The total quantity of Water in atmosphere remains same.It is available in different forms. Atmospheric moisture,surface water,underground water,soil moisture, in plants and trees and in han bodies and in all animals and living beings.
The Sanskrit verse says 'APO VA IDAGUM SARVAM ' means Water is Everything. Without water no living being can exist. Access to fresh quality water should be declared as a Human right. No body can withhold access to any body.
But the greed , had made water as a commodity nay economic commodity. Problem started then onwards. When the natural resources are made as a economic good and tradable item profit making business eyes fell on that . The ownership question over the most essential life sustaining element on earth became a source of profit for those companies . Immediate access to such a vital element is denied to those who do not have the purchasing power.
When I was a child fresh water was available for drinking free of cost .Now I have to pay .My capacity and willingness to pay decide the availability .
Actually in India , the war on water between regions were escalated during nineties.
I am going to tell a story about the good Samaritan who felt making available water for drinking and for irrigation to his neighbors .
Watercoperation between two neighboring states of India is a model . It is an example of Coperation between two ideologies .
Now let us read about ,
PARAMBIKULAM -ALIYAR PRJECT . As I know.
