Dear Derek, Editor The Goan Thank you very much for the publication of my letter " 24 hour water supply a pipe dream" on 26th April 2017.
Stephen Dias Published Letter: I challenged PWD Minister Sudin Dhavlikar to keep his promise of supplying 24 hour potable water to the entire state of Goa by 2019. The previous government had promised that major areas of Salcete and Tiswadi including Panjim would be supplied with 24th hour water but as usual that promise was not kept by the then BJP government . The fact is that the task is possible. However, rain water harvesting has to be implemented on a very large scale which is not being done. This is the only way to be able to supply water through a system of pipelines to the entire state of Goa for 24 hour . Unless large reservoirs are made Dhavlikar promise is going to remain a pipe dream as well. Stephen Dias Dona Paula
