Save every water drop: Karimnagar Collector

​Karimnagar: The mankind can sustain only when each drop of water is saved, observed District Collector Sarfaraz Ahmed at a ceremony held in Karimnagar on Tuesday.

He was the chief guest at the closing ceremony of ‘Save Water Awareness’ programme held under NABARD here at Central Cooperative Bank. Speaking on the occasion, the Collector said that NABARD has been conducting awareness programmes on water conservation in about 614 villages in the united Karimnagar district from May 1 to June 8.

He advised all the people to dig a soaking pit in their house for harvesting rain water and for increasing groundwater table.

He assured the people steps will be taken on behalf of the government for harvesting the rain water by sanctioning funds for constructing soak pits and bunds with stones surrounding the hills and tanks.

The farmers must go for either drip or sprinkler type irrigation methods to conserve water and not to waste it unnecessarily during cultivating their fields. By harvesting every drop of rain water the problem of water scarcity can be get ridden, suggested the Collector.
