removing recharging dams
You are right. On one hand we are anxious to create new ground water recharging facilities like rain water harvesting, on the other hand the existing recharging facilities in the shape of village ponds, are being removed in a large number for using the pond land for residential and commercial activities. The Government and other agencies active in creating new facilities for ground water recharging will do a great job, if they can prevent the removal of existing ground water recharge facilities.
