Water is the most used and the most necessary resource of nature. One cannot survive a day without this universal solvent. We need water for household maintenance, industries, medical fields and every field needs it the most. If we make the water trade, then definitely it will be a huge business with profits. Don’t think why would someone trade water, the time may arrive soon and we will be facing the challenges of the scarcityof water in the future.
It is because this natural resource is the most used and most wasted too. Everyone thinks that it’s just a water, but without that 'just' human survival would be at risk.
Many of us, who are well educated and are in the higher positions in the society are unaware of the fact that how much water they are wasting per a day. At the taps, during showers, while watering the plants in the garden. For those who are abundant of water have no idea of how many people are striving for a pot of water at the places where there is a huge population, but the water resources are limited. There are thousands and thousands of people who are fighting for this basic necessity of human life.
We are witnessing the lack of rainfall in many areas, the rate of rainfall is keeping on decreasing when we compare to the previous records. Fields are empty and lands are red in colour without any crop being raised.
If the scarcity of water occurs it will impact on the food crops too. For the farmers need gallons and gallons of water for the maintenance of the cattle and the fields. If the urban areas are wasting the water and if continued then we have to face a feminine. We will die of hunger, water alone can take down the entire race, it has that much of power hidden in it. If it disappears, the life is in danger.
It is every citizen’s basic responsibility to take a part in the conservation of water campaigns. We must bring awareness to the people who waste the water much. It is the primary challenge ahead of us allbecause we are responsible for the damage we have done to nature and the natural resources, the contamination of the rivers and lakes will pollute the water and make them unfit for the irrigation and on the other hand wastage of water is increasing rapidly.
We cannot go back in time and resolve the issues, but we can change the future and take necessary precautions in saving the water. Generally, if we observe carefully, most of the water is wasted in the urban cities. For example, if we consider a luxury hotel, a glass of water filled up to the brim is placedin front of the customers, and they just take a sip and the rest of the water is wasted.
This is seen inthe wash basins and taps, sometimes we leave the water and let it go. It is because we can’t even know how it would be like without a mug of water for daily usage. We need to place ourselves in the place of those people who spend hours and hours of time in fetching the drop of life, the water.
Wasting of water is a habit and if we ignore this habit it will become a habitual thing, which we will repeat this without even noticing we are wasting. We need to practice a lot to develop the good habit of saving water.
Water is wasted everywhere, at home, in the garden, in the cleaning of utensils, public pumps, cleanings, hotels etc. we need to analyze the importance and the demand of saving the water for the future generations.
I request everyone to develop a habit to save water wherever they are, I am also including a petition to vote at the Change.org in the end of this post. Today we are celebrating World Water Day and this year's theme is Nature for Water.
The Best Ways to Save Water:
- · Do not leave the tap water to flow on while brushing and washing the hands. Turn it off
- · Say no to longer showers
- · Re-use the water left in the glasses which are offered for drinking, water the plants or use them for other reasons
- · While using the water in gardening works make sure to prevent the water going waste on the ground.
- · Make sure to turn off the taps tightly to prevent the drop by drop leakages.
- · Check for the home water supply pipelines for any leakages and rectify them as soon as possible you found it. Do not delay
- · While flushing, do not flush the things which don’t get flushed easily.
- · Say no to the bathtubs, they are royal, but our loyalty lives with the coming generations if we save the water.
- · At the public pumps and other drinking water facilities, close the outlets after using them up. Do not let the water to flow like it has nothing to do with us. Feel responsible and act as a responsible citizen
- · Educate the children from the children the importance of saving the water and how to conserve water. Introduce new lessons and moral stories in the presentations to spread the awareness about conservation of water.
#CuttingPaani is the initiative by Livpure and it helps to reach out to the crowd in the social media and spread the awareness. The current situations are alright for our generation, even there are many places where the water availability is still a dream, even to drink one have to walk miles and miles to collect the water. And these places are not the deserts, they are the perfect livelihoods and many families live there. If we continue to waste the water without any care, then the future is going to be very bad, we can’t even imagine the damage that we have done by wasting the water.
We need to question ourselves one thing, if the water is for sale and if we purchase it like the other goods, do we waste it? We will try to make use of the products which we buy until they are empty. Then why don’t we do the same in the case of water? Is it only because it is a natural resource and it is free?
Let’s change our mindset and act like we are literally purchasing the water, drop and drop we are collecting and drop by drop we are saving for our children and the future.
Our little ignorance can cause a biological imbalance and our little response will save the future from paying for the water. Let us together make the water available for free, like we are enjoying this natural gift, we make sure the upcoming generations will do the same.
By sitting at home we can help in spreading the awareness on conservation of water, it is the survival key, and we all have to team up to contribute our efforts to it. Actively participating in the campaigns like #CuttingPaani by Livpure, we can make our voice heard by the others, we can voice our thoughts through such initiatives.
Now as I promised earlier, this is the petition and please sign it and be a responsible human.
