Twenty-one cities in India will run out of groundwater by 2020
There have been a flurry of alarmists posts like these but somehow I cant wrap my head around how will we run out of water. I stay in Bangalore and some people do have the problem of water - but for the most part it doesnt seem to be an issue of &#x27;lack&#x27; of water perse but mostly distribution issues.<p>Bangalore has been having intermittent rains throughout the summers and even though few people use them now, but if situation gets dire almost everyone should be able to setup a rain water harvesting system and get by.<p>India is also installing solar at a rapid pace and the cost of electricity is going down. The next level solution could be just to use sea water that India is surrounded by, and use some of that solar power to filter this water.<p>Somehow I dont get all this alarmist news. Maybe im missing something.
