We need rain badly. My complaint is with the company that is drilling for natural gas in my city. There was a report on our news the other night about how the gas drillers are taking a alarming amount of water from our river to use for "fraking", breaking the rocks way deep to let the natural gas out. The water they use will not come back into the natural cycle of rain, but will be hundreds of feet below ground.<br /><br />Foolish people are not all in India, we have our share of greedy fools here.Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-50983754323815349882011-08-26T21:30:14.913+05:302011-08-26T21:30:14.913+05:30Such an apt way to put it- 'arrogance of abund...Such an apt way to put it- 'arrogance of abundance'!

Like we thought water would last forever in Jamshedpur and would laugh at our folk in Chennai who saved water after rinsing clothes and use it in the toilet. Today there are pockets in the city where the residents of of high rises begin the day quarreling for water. The overhead tank only gets half filled and at least 5 flats in a particular wing have to share it. Ground water is depleted and people are only just beginning to realize that water too will not last for ever. The future world war may be fought over natural resources.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923596553558938547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-1698813653331520192011-08-26T14:21:44.030+05:302011-08-26T14:21:44.030+05:30"Arrogance of abundance" such a wonderfu..."Arrogance of abundance" such a wonderful way to put it!
