The rapidly depleting water table due to over exploitation has led to complete
prohibition on digglng new tube-wells i bore-wells in many cities. Proper enforcement of
such prohibitions is required to be monitored at higher levels and permissions may only
be given in exceptional circumstances. A rapid analysis of the effectiveness of this
prohibition and permissions given would also throw useful light on steps required for
making this ban more effective.

lwould request that you may kindly review this issue at your level along with
Principal Secretary / Secretary of Urban Development Department and Municipal
commissioners / heads of ULBs. All ULBs in your State may be asked to take up special
drives for creating rain water harvesting systems not only in new buildings and public
spaces but also in existing buildings of the city. ULBs may be urged to make concerted
efforts to achieve citizens' involvement in these efforts so that these measures may
acquire the desired momentum.
With regards,
w--Yours sincerely,
