We know that water is essential resource on which entire human race depends on is becoming scarce.There are lakhs of people in India who are already facing the brunt of irregular water supply or are living without clean drinking water. As a result,citizens are getting affected by waterborne diseases. Even though we have been taught about water conservation since the early years of our lives,yet the contribution from everyone is not as significant as it should be.
Around 71% of the earth is covered by water out of which,97% is the saline water of ocean and seas which is unfit for drinking. The remaining 3% of drinkable water comes from streams,ponds,lakes and rivers. Rapid urbanisation,irregular monsoon,expeditious use of groundwater,and unchecked sewage has further pushed the country into a dire strait and has made it quite hard to quench the thirst of the population. Today is the situation where the world is headed towards a water crisis and the day is not far enough for another country or a major city to become the next Cape Tow
As a citizen, it's our fundamental responsibility to supplement the efforts of the government and organisations with our actions. Using a limited amount of water while washing clothes and utensils,brushing teeth,and bathing and farming is the first step in this. Schools and offices should start planting as many trees as possible , NGOs must come up with plausible solutions and spread awareness amongst masses about the importance and techniques to conserve water. To every problem ,there is a solution and here,it is'' we". In order to bring out the change,our actions need to be changed.
