Water conservationist Rajendra Singh has called for a Water Literacy campaign in Kalyana Karnataka region to conserve natural resource for addressing water crisis permanently.
Addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Thursday, Dr Singh, who is a Magsaysay award winner, said that such a campaign is required in the region to educate people about water conservation and teach them how to use water in a prudent manner.
“We must understand how to conserve water from being stolen by the Sun (through evaporation). We have to identify ways to collect rainwater and make it reach the belly of the earth, so that it does not evaporate. This will help recharge groundwater aquifers,” Dr Singh added.
