		<description>After reading this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time to put this blog piece together. I once again find myself spending way to much time both reading and commenting. What ever, it was still worth it :)</description>

		<description>There is no relation between Ground Water &amp; Farmer suicide.
Population growth and polution (Air, water and ground) are the basic reasons for Farmer suicide.Are interconnected?
Eradiciation of Pollution is the only reamody for this. All the materials living are pollution creators except &#039;Cow and Cow Products and Ganga Water&#039;. The &quot;VIJAYAM ++ ve Life Water&quot; is a patent product, is capable to eradicate polution. Fine spray this Water on or arround helps to erradicate pollution.

		<description>This is a perfect case of negligent natural resource management. On a positive note, a village in Hayath Nagar mandal in Andhra has completely called MCPally has tackled this situation brilliantly. With the aid of a local NGO, the villagers took to building check dams and artificial bund&#039;s to store water and replenish the water table. Earlier surviving on a 5km long stream of water that lasted on the mercy of the rains, these simple techniques have benefited the farmers and now they claim to have enough ground water to last for 2 years without rainfall. And the most important aspect is the opportunity to innovate with various farming techniques like drip irrigation etc that improve the conditions of water availability even more. 

Though this is just an isolated case and andhra has recorded high numbers of suicides, more effort has to be made in spreading awareness. Farmers now though are complaining of fertilizers :(</description>
