Abstract

Water shortage is one of the major problems of the 21st century which incidentally is also the beginning of the new millennium. Horrible predictors are being made regarding the water problems being faced by the mankind during the next 50 years. If the last 50 years are any guide, there is no double that the world is going to face a serious problem. Since water is life we cannot do without it, we all have to think how to deal with this situation. Until the scientists can think of better and durable solutions we must do whatever is possible at the grass root level.
