I am a Forestry and Sustainability expert who has a passion to work for society especially wrt improving greenery and indirectly working to improve moisture regime of the catchment associated with that.

This post can be considered as the first one of the series:

I call it as decentralized and micro level action plan. if such small small actions are understood and executed so as to get integrated into larger ones, will surely solve most dangerous menace of Water shortage, Food shortage and indirectly resulting in combating climate change.
But it has to begun at some point and somewhere.
Few Cases we find, hear, experience and appreciate but when its comes to support these at our own level we become more of preachers than of a practitioners and ameliorators.

Water and oxygen are the 2 most vital compounds for any living organism to sustains life. If these are not available in desired forms it is pretty known that the living organism will vanish and may result in dying of our planet for ever.
God knows whether planet will revive or not. if Yes! in how many million years no body knows.

I might be sounding a pessimist and to be so,  is the need of the hour, this pessimism will ring the bell for understanding the risk of our survivals with more scare and in real terms. With this doomy scare and to safeguard humanity,I am sure actions will be faster,holistic and more fruitful.

Unfortunately we have started experiencing extreme cases already in many areas of Maharastra, Andhra, Rajasthan states in our own country.

So to protect humanity and to ensure its survival any good beginning even today is not late.

This series deals with one of the action plans of how we should move so as to improve and thus safeguard us and to hand over safe future to our next generations:

Challenges : 
a. Shortage of water : Surface as well as Ground.
b. Shortage of green cover : Above ground in all the canopies. From grasses to shrubs and to trees as well.
c. Protection / conservation of surface run off during the rains.

Why this Water shortage ?

Net duration of availability of surface water on annum basis of Flowing rivers, Ponds and lakes have reduced on account of reduced green cover along water shed area thus more exposure to sun and light resulting in higher and faster water evaporation.

Inlet of water flows from supporting estuaries, rivulets reduced to the main river resulted in water drying in critical summer months which used to be there few years back.
