Scientific facts do not seem to be able to stop these ridicules articles.  Let us try common sense.  (you are walking down the street and see someone lying on the ground with a large and deep cut oozing blood. )  Do you observe how much blood is oozing, set up equipment and study the rate of the blood flow, record how quickly the life is running out of the victim ? Or possibly apply pressure, wrap it up, and slow down the oozing to give you time to get proper help ? Current technologies are available to resolve the entire situation. Depending on any government agency to solve common sense and local problems is never the answer. People from India make great scientists and doctors in the US. Even our American spelling Bee is won almost every year by a child from India. Allow these intelligent beings the opportunity to resolve their plight with current available technology. I have every confidence in their ability to resolve the issue.

I agree with both Guy and Gonuguntia. What required is better governance, and not only depending on hi fi very expensive technologies. India has depended too much on highly expensive technologies for solving the problems, but, in practice has miserably filed in managing all the natural resources for sustained availability in both quantity and quality. The need of the hour is to bring total change in mental attitude and behavior of all stakeholders.

Agree with Guy. What's required is the strong will to do with strict timelines, resources and guidance and monitoring, so as to make a positive difference to our fellow beings. The solutions are obvious and by and large available. First enforce the cpcb effluent discharge standards for industrial effluents and also to municipal wastewater, prevent source pollution of rivers and streams, arrange for recycling and reuse of treated waste water, adopt low cost, low O&M processes of waste water treatment like CAMUS-SBT, Phytorid etc.and plan water resources management in an integral way considering water, waste water and storm water so as to close the water cycle in an eco-friendly manner.
