"If there is water there is tomorrow", despite this, water is unnecessarily wasted. We should not forget that the solution to the water crisis is by conserving water. We have always heard "Water is life". Without water, a golden tomorrow cannot be imagined, water is required to perform all the functions of life. A valuable resource available on the earth is water, or rather it is the basis of living for all living beings. About three quarters of the earth is surrounded by water, but 97% of it is saline which is not potable, the amount of potable water is only 3%. There is also 2% water in the form of glacier and ice. Thus only 1% water is available for human use in the true sense.
With the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization and increasing pollution and a steady increase in population, ensuring availability of drinking water for every person is a major challenge. As the heat is rising, the water problem in many parts of the country is becoming formidable. Every year this problem increases more than before, but we always think that just as soon as the summer season is removed, the problem of water will go away as soon as the rain comes, and keep on thinking about water conservation.
The problem of water crisis will become more severe in the coming years, it is believed that the World Economic Forum. It is further stated in the report of this institution that more than 75 percent of the people worldwide are facing water shortage problems. The 'World Water Day', celebrated on 22 March, is not just a formality, but a day to make others aware by taking a pledge to conserve water.
The large population of the country is not conscious of water conservation despite knowing the unavailability of pure drinking water and related problems. Where people hardly get water, people are understanding the importance of water, but the one who is getting water without any problem, they seem to be irresponsible. Even today, water is ruthlessly shed in cities for polishing floors, washing cars and non-essential tasks.
Polluted water contains high amounts of arsenic, iron, etc., which all kinds of health problems arise due to drinking. According to a study by the World Health Organization, more than 86 percent of diseases worldwide are caused by unsafe and contaminated drinking water. Currently about 1600 aquatic species are on the verge of extinction due to water pollution, while around 1.10 billion people in the world are forced to drink contaminated drinking water and live without clear water.
Such a situation is a matter of concern for both the government and the general public. If meaningful steps are taken by taking quick steps in this direction, then the situation can be kept under control to a great extent, otherwise the next few years will prove to be a challenge for all of us.
There is no exaggeration in this fact that water is life because water is like nectar for all living beings on earth. Without water, no life on earth is possible. By the way, 70% of water is on our earth.
But drinking water for humans is only 2% which is available to us from underground, rivers, ponds and rain water. But due to lack of rain day by day, there has been a decrease in ground water, due to which there has been a shortage of water all over the world.
And if water continues to be misused in this way, then the day is not far when the entire earth will be destroyed due to lack of water. Every trace of life on earth will disappear.
According to some economists, the third world war will be fought for water, which is a very serious subject. We must take concrete steps to save water.
Water is an important part of our life today. If 70% of the human body is water, then you can imagine what can happen if there is no water. Without water, the entire environment will be destroyed. A human being can live for many months without food, but without water, he will die within 1 week.
All the resources on our earth are limited in quantity, similarly water is also available in limited quantity. Just like every breath of our life is priceless, similarly water is also priceless.
Water is like nectar for the creatures living on earth. Today we are misusing water in such a way that there will be shortage of water everywhere in the coming few years.
If our future generations will not get water, then you can imagine how terrible the situation will be without water in the coming years. Today the water which is worth drinking by humans,
It is also being polluted, water is being discharged into rivers, canals, ponds, due to which pure water is also being polluted and many diseases are spreading due to this.
The exact price of water is known by the same people who come with a pot of water from many kilometers away, sometimes water is also polluted but due to water crisis and to save their lives they have to drink polluted water too. .
We should try as much as possible to save water. Whenever you see water flowing from a tap, you should immediately close that tap, now you will think what would be the benefit by saving this little water.
So, for your information, we want to tell you that the water fills the pot from drop to drop, and the more water we save from drop by drop, the less difficulties we will have in future.
Do not use water for unnecessary tasks to save water. The rainwater should be stored and the importance of water should be explained to the people. We can motivate people to save water by taking out a rally to save water.
Water is not only important for human life, it is also an integral part of human body because more than 70% of human body is water. And for other living beings living on earth, water is also very important.
Due to this water keeping our earth green and the temperature of the earth controlled, if there is no water on the earth, then it will be dry only like Mars where there will be no sign of life.
We should not misuse Jal because if we do this then we are messing with our lives. It seems that we are axing ourselves on our feet. Water exists on our earth in many forms such as snow on mountains, rivers, reservoirs and ground water, as vapor.
Due to such a form of water, water is available on our entire earth because if water was in solid state then it is only on the mountains due to which life on earth would not be possible. Due to the water vapor form, large oceans and oceans form clouds as water vapor.
And it rains all over the earth, so that water can be replenished at all places, due to rain water, ponds, dams and ground water are increased.
If there is no rain on the earth, then there will be a shortage of water, all the ponds, dams and underground water sources will dry up. Presently the same situation is arising because rainfall is decreasing year after year in our country. The main reason for this is the felling of trees because trees and forests only rain.
And in our country, trees are being harvested indiscriminately, due to which there is a drought in some state every year. And at the same time, population growth in our country is happening very fast, our country comes in second place in terms of population, but by 2022 our country will be first in terms of population.
As we all know that if the population increases, the water will be equally needed, but if the water is decreasing day by day, then how will it be fulfilled?
Ground water has already reduced, most of the states of our country have been declared as dark zones, this means that there is a lot of water scarcity in these states and if this problem is not resolved in the coming few years. So the source of underground water here will be extinct.
And talking about other sources of water, water is available in the rivers and ponds, but that too is decreasing day by day and at the same time we are also polluting the water of the rivers and ponds, due to which the water of the rivers is not drinkable.
Talking about the water pollution in the rivers, we can take the example of Yamuna river because when Yamuna river originates from Uttarkashi, its water is very clean but as it comes out of the cities, this river is so contaminated in the city in Delhi. Water is released.
Due to which it is black by the time it reaches Agra, it means that you can understand how much we are polluting the rivers.
Due to the pollution of the rivers, the animals and birds that drink the water of these rivers also fall ill and die. And this water is used for irrigation in our country
Due to which many diseases occur in the crops, which later enter our body through those crops. This is why new diseases are spreading in our country day by day. If no steps are taken soon, human scarcity will end due to water scarcity or many pandemics will spread due to polluted water.
Water is the priceless heritage of our earth, if we do not take care of it then the whole earth will be destroyed. We should do our utmost to save water, for this we should not only blame the government.
We have to save water by becoming aware ourselves. Because the government does not only exploit water, we all do it. We only exploit water excessively and we pollute it.
Therefore, it is our duty to save this invaluable water and take steps that can increase the amount of ground water.
To save water, we can do the following:
1. We have to stop using water for unnecessary tasks.
2. The rainwater has to be stored and stored in stitches.
3. Planting of trees in large quantities will have to be stopped.
4. All the industries from which the contaminated water is mixed in the rivers have to give strict instructions that they should be added to the contaminated water in the rivers.
5. We have to improve our daily routine as we go to rivers or ponds and start throwing garbage or stones in them which pollute their water.
6. We have to stop using water for non-work such as washing vehicles, spraying water on soil, etc.
7. We have to make a plan by which all the rivers can be connected so that there is no shortage of water in any part of the country.
8. We have to be aware because in our country most of the water tanks are leaking water, which we have to stop because drop of water fills the pitcher and we can conserve water only by saving drop of water.
9. We have to stop using plastic because this is why most water is polluted.
10. We must spread awareness among the people about how essential water is for our lives and how it can be conserved.
Why should we save water
Below, we have given some facts that will tell you how valuable clean water has become for us today:
There are more than 4 million people who are dying due to waterborne diseases.
Lack of clean water and diseases caused by dirty water are the worst developing countries.
Approximately 300 liters of water is spent in preparing one day newspapers, so the distribution of news media should be encouraged.
One child dies every 15 seconds due to waterborne diseases.
People all over the world have started using water bottles, which cost $ 60 to $ 80 billion per year.
People in rural areas of India, Africa and Asia have to travel long distances (about 4 km to 5 km) for clean water.
People are suffering more due to waterborne disease in India, due to which the economy of India is affected on a large scale.
Methods of water conservation
We shared with you some of the best ways to save water without any change in lifestyle. A household member spends about 240 liters of water daily for household tasks. A small basic family of four members spends an average of 960 liters per day and 350400 liters per year. Only 3% of the entire consumption of water is used daily for drinking and cooking, the rest is used for other purposes like watering plants, bathing, washing clothes etc.
Some common water conservation tips:
Everyone should understand their own responsibility and avoid excessive use of water besides cooking water and food.
If gradually all of us will start saving water by giving water to the garden, pouring water in the toilet, cleanliness etc., saving more water will be possible.
We should save rainwater for the purpose of defecation, laundry, watering of plants etc.
We should collect rainwater for drinking and cooking.
We should only wash our clothes in the washing machine when it has clothes to its full potential. In this way, we will save 4500 liters of water as well as electricity per month.
Instead of showering, use buckets and mugs which will save 150 to 200 liters of water per year.
We should close our tap properly after every use, which will save 200 liters of water every month.
Dry and safe should be promoted to reduce excessive use of water during Holi festival.
To protect ourselves from water wastage, we should be aware about the news of people struggling daily for every drop of water for their lives.
To spread awareness, we should promote programs related to water conservation.
Don't let too much water get wasted in the cooler during the summer season, use only what is needed.
We should not destroy water by pouring water on lawns, houses or roads through pipes.
Encourage planting of saplings during rainy season so that the plants get natural water.
We should make a habit of washing our hands, fruits, vegetables etc. with water utensils instead of open taps.
We should avoid watering the plants from 11 am to 4 pm as they evaporate at that time. Plants soak water well in the morning or evening by giving water.
We should encourage plantation that is dry tolerant.
We should motivate family members, children, friends, neighbors and co-employees to adopt the same process to their end to achieve positive results.
