Rains or not, some Sunshine is there in the morning;
After evening, there's no Moon and Stars in dark sky;
All rain waters go waste to the sea with noway to store;
Water scarcity can be solved by making reservoir for rain!
Harvesting rain water so, dry lands can be made fertile;
By refineries water can be purified for drinking and irrigation;
Such thoughts and ideas float in the mind, when seeing
Rain falling as waste at a stretch for some days in the town!
But this kind of incessant rains can purify polluted rivers;
Drainage and industrial effluents can be cleared now;
That way water in lakes and ponds can be cleaned
And as in the past, those reservoirs can be used for all!
Check dams for rivers joining sea can be built to store
And utilize them for diverting to water-less areas sure!
yes, indeed yes that harvesting rain in reservoirs can solve many things and problems regarding water; nice to read your poem
Thanks a lot for giving your esteemed supportive comment, dear friend!
There is much truth in what you say, Ramesh. When I was a kid, many people had rain barrels next to their house. Now I never see them anymore.
You are so right Ramesh, reservoirs are an important environmental asset, particularly in India. You could dam a reservoir and generate hydroelectric power too. You need to champion this with your government. A good poem too.

I would like to translate this poem
If governments can afford to put astronauts on the moon, they can surely afford to harvest rain waters. Brilliant ideas expressed through poetry are always a joy to behold. Thank You, Ramesh.
Yes, indeed! Thanks you so much!
