Consider a ball park estimate of the coming catastrophe.
15 Ha of land on which 1409 trees are living.
15.4 kg/m^2 of above and below ground biomass.
The tree transpires its own weight of water daily.
At 15.4 kg/m^2 dry biomass weight, water transpired per day on 15 ha= 15.4x15x10^4 kg= 2310000 kg
Per year it is= 2310000x365= 843150000 kg or 843150 m^3. This is the groundwater charging done by the trees per year. The dam by contrast is a slave of gravity and thus cannot make the water fly and thus requires 100 times more land than the trees or 1500 ha including catchment area to store the same amount of water in its reservoir. Thus the metro car shed robs the groundwater charging done by the trees cut off and in effect to supply this much lost water to Mira Bhayander requires 140900 trees of this biomass weight to be cut off elsewhere for a dam to store the 840150 m^3 required to keep Mira Bhayander going gung-ho! Notice the positive feedback effect inherent in the world dam dynamics described above. This is the reason why the car shed must not cut any trees even ostensibly for a good reason. This positive feedback brings to us the shocking mix up of city human encroachment on nature's habitat where man is a harmonious part not such violence born out of sloth, lust, anger and greed. You can see tigers, leopards, elephants, jackals and birds and others losing out to suicide by man. Now is the time to remove the world's dams and carry out assisted forest regeneration worldwide to make our designs valid but full of austerity. Not crowd into one city and build metros with highest of high rises. To imbibe the divine attribute of austerity and true knowledge is our call for survival now.
Note that with the present anachronistic mindset, transplantation is impossible.

The whole world will turn mature only when truth is followed. Modern Civilization, a societyof specialists is so immature as to be unable to remove the world's dams and carry out assisted forest regeneration even after events which are repeatedly occurring and causing life to disappear: See Ramaswami Ashok Kumar.2024.

Such generalized articles in a milieu of extremely low levels of awareness on the part of the vast majority of humans does little to heighten enlightenment on the issues. Example: While arguing about climate change they do not define it because the specialists ascribe it to greenhouse gas emissions. So they confine themselves to 'net zero' and have a policy of mitigating the effects of high temperatures by increasing dam capacity worldwide. The truth, my research shows is that 92 percent of climate change is caused by the world's dams and only 8 percent by ghg's. See what really needs to be done at Ramaswami Ashok Kumar.2024.
