        Before population may grow in a city, the govt. would have to resolve the issues related with drinking water. One of the approaches would be building water channels to collect the rainfalls from hills to reservoir. Yet, the concerns should be CATALYSTS favoring rainfalls.

        Water conservation, retention, creation, irrigation, drainages, pipeline distribution, collection, sanitation at different areas including coastal regions, where rainfalls relate with sea, air movements, sunlight are relevant factors for consideration. Whose responsibilities?

        The melting of the Himalayan glaciers is the absolutely scariest part of #climatechange! 🌏 I just wish they could figure out a way to collect a lot of the fresh water as it runs away. #Thirst

        I'm confident that they melted more during the last warm period, the MWP, only a thousand years ago, like most of the other glaciers and ice sheets on our magnificent and ever changing Earth. #climatechange is constant.pic.twitter.com/r6guCfDBXt
