Surely water should not be wasted but then if water resources have to be protected, where is the logic of the Goa government indiscriminately allowing permissions to housing projects particularly with numerous swimming pools, etc many times being pursued in violation of local/environmental laws including destruction of forests, trees,water bodies and hills. There are numerous complaints by concerned citizens on so many illegalities and "blind" approvals by the Goa government, TCP Ministry and Goa's ministers strangely ignore the same. Recently there have been concerning reports that have come out that Goa's ground water is actually going down. Also it's well known that the crumbling public infrastructure is responsible for so much water wastage, leakage. Then there is the Mhadei issue where the Goa government appears (in my view to be compromised!) and giving away a winning case and not using its strengths; like for example notifying the tiger reserve which can surely help Goa's case. I request the Goa chief minister to address the water resource issue with his own government, bureaucrats and municipality, panchayat, ministers instead of advising Goans on how to save water.
