Large quantities of water should be boiled. The vapours will rise high to form clouds which will deliver rains during monsoon. Simple technology.

Very hilarious post but Rambabu seems to ve missed the point

Yes. I missed the point I agreed that this simple suggestion i could not grasp.No pretensions whatsoever

Absolutely ...No pretensions whatsoever while copy/pasting either ...

Now, the entire Country is reeling under the Heat wave.Every state is is recording more than  40 plus degrees Celsius. Pilani, Jaisalmer ,Jaipur recorded maximum temperatures of 40.6 degrees Celsius.

In AP, Rayalaseema, Karnool  and Guntur districts touched more than 40 degrees Celsius.

In many parts of our country there is more than sufficient rainfall but most of the water gets flown into ocean , instead if we have more smaller reservoirs that take care of cities , it could solve water problem to a great extent.  Cloud seeding has been moderately successful but probably needs to be developed further ..

In Rajasthan some city is depends on rain water, Udiapur have five laks which are interconnected. Ajmer is depends on Anna Sagar for water. Jaipur is depends of Ramgarh and Bisalpur dame for water.

Finally we may need to connect rivers and take care if natural lakes or change the course of rivers  like they did in China so that dry places get sufficient water ..

In Gujarat already Narmada waters are pumped through pipelines to Saurashtrs region from a few years now. Same can be attempted in other States as well.

In Karnataka , an attempt has been made in districts like Mandya and Haasan where canals have been built and the lakes cleaned up and dug so that the water gets retained for a longer period of time . This was made by Deve Gowda who has also built a road connecting smaller towns to the National highway and the canal running​ along the road in some places. It is very scenic and green right through the year ..

Yes. Definitely such measures will help in reducing water scarcity. 

Despite all these measures in some States water scarcity is very much there.

 Here in AP, Our CM too doing his best to avoid water scarcity.

The north eastern states are facing different weather conditions. It has been raining continuously since the last 3-4 days. In fact the river banks are likely to over flow if it rains today too. 

Really strange, On one side many regions are having no rainfall, NE region having excessive Rain fall.

Distribution of rail fall is not equal in country It is forecast that coming monsoon will not good like previous one.

Rainfalls are never the same every year , so when there is a deficit the govt and the people shd be prepared for it. Farmers shd be helped to conserve water . I see some of them digging small ponds next to their fields which remains full during most part of the year  !

I too observed something similar when I visited Jharkhand once. Earlier farmers had problems of water scarcity which led to low yield. Then some NGO people promoted the idea of digging a small part of their field as pond. Now these farmers are making a profit.

Now, several measures are being taken up by the respective governments to face the challenge of Water scarcity. But the problem is, IMD has predicted this year the Summer would be prolonged and inadequate rainfall.

Unless individual measures are taken , it would become impossible for just the govt to cater to the needs of each and everyone. These are age old methods of water harvesting that took a back seat with bore Wells and water taps taking over ..

Now our CM using most modern ways of preserving water to get rid of water scarcity

And what are these most modern ways your CM is using to preserve water 

I will let you know. I know one of them is building storage tanks to store water for emergency purposes.

Storage tanks have been in existence since more than 50 years...You ain't post for the sake of doing so not to add any value
