[WhatsUpUoH] Please STOP WASTING WATER!

The attached pictures are from K-Hostel. Right now. Self explanatory, I suppose. Phone call to the substation got the following response - 'you all only said you dont have water!' I hope that in spite of that, they will turn off the pump.

(I know what the response will be too - tomorrow, we won't have water at all. Is it so difficult to know what is sufficient water, and what is too much? All it takes is 1-2 days of observing. Is it so hard to open and close the right valves when turning on the pump? Is it so hard to install a few float-valves? Anyway, I'm sure some random whiny puerile and pointless excuse will be produced for all these questions. The point is, sir, not your answer trumping my question, but that water is being wasted.)

None of these complaints have been addressed yet - http://actonwateruoh.weebly.com/

This is inspite of giving printouts to the engineering department and reminders to the VC's email.

Meanwhile, when there is such an acute scarcity of water in the city and state, ought we be spending so much water on our lawns? I tried pointing it out to various building in-charges, and I got raised eyebrows, and chiding that it is none of my business. But seriously - lawns? Not even saplings or young trees. Lawns??! Can't we do away with lawns for a few months? We could grow them again come July? Please? It's none of my business, sure, but it hurts to see so much water that could be used being thrown away at lawns.

When the administration is waiting with itchy palms to throw students out of the campus and is contemplating shutting down hostels citing water shortage, but still spends so much water on its lawns, I can only ironically wonder about the priorities that we seem to adopted.
