Kerala – The land of Rivers
Kerala is blessed with rivers. There are 44 rivers flowing through the state. Out of which, 41 and flowing to west and the rest are flowing to east. The ground water level is still reducing year after year, which will result severe water scarcity in the future
The water shortage in kerala is increasing day by day. River water is not at all safe to use, due contamination. Though, we are facing flood during rainy season, during summer we are facing water scarcity.Rain water harvesting is the only one remedy to this. The water falling on the roof can also be directed to wells using pvc pipes.
