Initiative for Rainwater conservation in Kashi: People pledge not to waste water

Varanasi, May 7 (UNI) The continuously declining groundwater level is becoming a matter of grave concern in Kashi, the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
If timely attention is not paid to this issue, the people of the country could face a severe water crisis. Even today, adequate water fails to reach the homes of millions of people. An effective solution to this problem lies in rainwater conservation.
Given the severity of the water crisis, a pledge ceremony was organised under the banner of the social organisation 'Subah-e-Banaras Club' on Thursday. The ceremony aimed to appeal for water conservation and to encourage people to refrain from wasting water.
