    "content": "water crisis, the country needs to seek alternative sources of water supply and reduce its reliance on conventional surface water schemes like dams and reservoirs. A recent approach in some water harvesting, which involves the collection and storage of rainfall runoff in open ponds or aquifers, has been identified as one alternative water resource and could supplement traditional urban water supplies. As I come to a close on this, let me say that storm waters can improve water security and increase resilience when it comes to climate change in urban areas. It can also prevent frequent flooding and provide additional benefits to society. When you travel using aeroplanes outside this country, especially in the developed world, you will see many ponds from the skies within the big cities. Those ponds are done to help the cities manage collection of storm water. This is what the Motion urges the Government to do. Of course, we have the devolved governments which should also manage storm water because this is water that can help this country move forward in terms of food, a clean and safe environment and health."
