Provision of water remains high on the agenda of former First Citizen of India.
Missle-man APJ Abdul Kalam has called upon people to launch a special initiative to provide safe drinking water for all and suggested that it be undertaken as a 'societal mission'.
Kalam, a scientist by profession spoke recently in Chennai on a topic that has gained global currency in recent years. He joins a growing list of water advocates.
Among Kalam's suggestions are creation of a connection between water bodies in each state across the country as the leading solution to the problems of scarcity; using scientific and technological developments to resolve the global problem of poor availability of clean drinking water, et al.
Kalam has been urging the scientific community to work along with and industries to find a solution to water problems that plague so many across the world.
On this count, he is bang on: technology holds the key to alleviate global water shortages. We have seen technological advancement lead to raising of life expectancy, tackling diseases that have killed millions in previous centuries, create a flat world and brought efficiencies in several areas of industrial production.
So, why not use technology to rescue many in the world from certain death?
