The article on “Water Pollution” in TOI was easy to ignition
me into writing of this article. TOI alias Newspaper, "Times of India". I’m sure
very soon we will be having a dictionary only for short forms. Do we already
have one?...I guess I’m always late on catching things.
Pollution is not a new phenomenon. In fact, it is older than
most people realize. In ancient times river-water was already contaminated
by dead bodies of men and animals, wash-water - sometime industrial - , human
excrement's, and waste water from baths or mines. So drinking or tapping
river-water was always problematic.
Aqueducts are man-made conduits constructed to carry water. In
ancient time roman's were the first to find this solution then later ancient
India also saw light in it. The term aqueduct comes from words meaning "to
lead water".
Aqueducts remain an important and efficient means of
delivering clean water to cities. Today’s aqueducts are longer and able to
carry more water than ancient aqueducts. Pumps and pressurized water flow
permit aqueducts to flow up a slope. Improved pipe materials allows today’s
aqueducts to be completely hidden deep underground. Aqueduct is designed
to provide rapid recovery from existing water management problems & also
aid in solving dry area problem.
Why are we not using this system?…I’m still looking for an
answer on the same……
