Hot Summer Begins - Draught like Climate already

Well,  all things put aside.  First things first.  No water.  Water bodies are getting dry.

We have the burden of watering Banana and casurina trees to keep them alive.  Agriculture is not about cultivation.  That is the last thing.   It is mostly about sustaining life forms that you have chosen to bring up.  There is only 'n' variables that you can control.  Water is the primary and most important source for agriculture that is not in our control.  But water is everything.

And it is not there.


Subbu has decided to pump some water from neighboring well that is over 100 mts far.  This is mostly as a precaution to recharge the tanks.  Currently the wind speed is very low.  Only a 1000 liter is hardly getting filled and we need 2000 ltrs per day to sustain the vegetation.

 He has the hose pipes (good planning) and the kerosene engine.  Well there is one feet of water in the rain water pond surviving the fishes.  It the fishes starts to get visible, the birds will take them away. Good that we had invested in the Kerosene engine and hose pipes ! for such emergencies.
