Water conflicts are words we are hearing more often these days.Till about 1965,rivers in India flowed around the year and the water tables were shallow,hence easily accessible through dug wells.People enjoyed the water without having to treat it with clever man made devices.Today,communities are increasingly water stressed,with water getting scarce for meeting an increasingly thirsty lifestyle in burgeoning urban cities.More worrying is the deteriorating quality of water,which is adversely impacting public health and laying the foundation for life style diseases.The use of toxic chlorine and alum by municipalities to purify water supplied to citizens is undermining public health.Domestic water treatment gadgets are now a necessity for households using borewell water,which is 'hard' and unpalatable,with food taking longer to cook and soap refusing to lather easily.And boiling water to kill the germs spoils the taste.
Few have understood that our toxic lifestyles have put off balance,natural self correcting ecologies,which are actually life support systems of human and animal life.Humanity appears to have effortlessly moved from the natuure paradigm to an artificial toxic chemical paradigm,to engage with increasing misery.
The issues of water and water quality have been misunderstood by western science because it originated in cold countries where nature dies every six months during winter.They had no choice but to put sewage into rivers as the land was frozen.It is unfortunate that we have copied such models.
Ancient Indian civilization well understood the issues of water quality and toxicity hence incorporated methods,processes and rituals which improved water quality-to prepare tirth was part of religious ceremonies.The chemistry involved here was advanced,hence not well understood by western science,which had its own limitations.
There are three simple commonsense processes to evaluate water quality:
1. the water should not corrode copper
2. vessels in which the water was stored should not develop slime after 48 hours
3. a bucket filled with this water should not breed mosquitoes after 15 days
Manmade thinking created technologies for water purification,which appeared wonderful until the limitations and flaws showed up later on.Now nature has had a long time to develop simply advanced processes to heal toxicity in water to provide safe water for us.Using this line of thinking,a group of people in India have developed Turbo-Ecology,which is simply an accelerated nature process,that can remediate any kind of pollution,just as nature herself does so in her eco systems.
India is now ready to address water pollution issues with eco technology on mega scales that was almost impossible in the past;to begin purifying poisoned ecologies and putting humanity back on the path.
