Not
Funny : Just
Sad !
More than a year back , I sent following blog as email
to our Cabinet Ministers and Shri Devendra Fadnavisji
Water
Water Everywhere ? Even in Latur ?
[ 15 April 2017
]
In my email
, I had urged our Policy Makers to get in touch with Prof Yaghi ( University of Berkeley - yaghi@berkeley.edu / oyaghi@lbl.gov / Ph : 510-643-5507 ) , for acquiring his technology to extract water from dry desert
atmosphere , using ONLY
SUNLIGHT !
No need for
any electricity !
I followed
this up with following e mails :
None of
these seem to have been read !
Since then
, Prof Yaghi and his team have made further progress to
establish commercial
viability of this life-saving technology , as reported in :

Issue dt 08 June
2018 ]
I am sure , our
own scientists are quite capable of developing such a technology but should we
wait when “ WATER WARS “ in India are unlikely to remain
confined to one State against another State ?
If we fail to
find / implement – and on the double – a very cheap
and practical way to produce water from air , we are
headed for “ WATER WARS “ between ,
* Different regions within each State
* Different cities within each Region
I hope this
email will get read and acted upon
