About the Event :
Water is the most important ingredient of life, yet there is lack of appreciation of this aspect. Water covers most of the surface of the earth, but only 3% of that is available on the Earth as fresh water with less than 1% accessible for human use. In other words, only 0.007 of the total water on earth is available for drinking.
To cater to the need of the hour, NSS IIT Delhi is holding a book launch event of the book "Story of Water" authored by Mr. Arun Kr. Singhal, Prof. O.N.Bhargava and Dr. B.P.Singh. This will be followed by a talk by Prof. O.N.Bhargava on "Water Ushers Prosperity". To add to the honour, the event will be presided over by Dr. Rajendra Singh, Water Conversationist and Environmentalist and Dr. V. Ramgopal Rao, Director, IIT Delhi as Guest of Honour.
About the Book :
In the book, the authors briefly explains the different aspects of water. The book deals with the hydrosphere of the Mother Earth - their contributions to the hydrological cycle and also hazards these pose to the human beings. The likely impact of Global Warming on water resources and the impending water crisis are also discussed. An exclusive chapter deals with heavy water and newly discovered water tunneling and water in space. It is an elementary book meant for school children and laymen.
