Last not least, but as important as the approaches mentioned before is
to enhance public awareness.
To inform the public on current water quality for domestic, agricultural,
municipal and industrial water uses to illustrate and to present the significant
consequences of water contamination for humans and wildlife.
So to illustrate the water cycle and which part humans are playing in
this water cycle and where in the end they are affected. This must be
illustrated in a transparent way.
To inform the public that water quality improvement can only be achieved
by the application of the technological measures, by the maintenance of
the aquifer size, so therefore mining, large scale mining of sand must
be stopped immediately, the reduction of water consumption as well as
the setting up of high quality standards.
There must be a clear presentation of public benefits of water management
measures. This increases the tolerance towards restriction.
And finally the provision of a transparent background for decision-making
by authorities and policy makers.
When we fulfil all these recommendations we will overcome this dramatic
water pollution problem in the Patancheru area and we will get at the
end a sustainable development of the water supply.
