Country receives adequate rainfall, but the entire rainwater is collected in masonry drains from houses, streets/roads, etc. which is then taken to the sea instead of recharging the ground water aquifers. The groundwater available used during summer make the aquifer empty. Hence, the rainwater should be recharged into the aquifers during rainy season by suitable water harvesting measures. The local water bodies should be protected on priority. This would solve the twin problems of flood and water scarcity.
