We are pushing ourselves towards devastating threat. Lets save ourselves before that situation strikes.

Before I proceed to main paragraph, I would like you to look at below points –

• A big part of the country going through severe drought conditions.
• In various parts of India, people are struggling for few drops of water.
• In some cities in India, people walk miles every day to get water for drinking.
• Hottest ever April this year with mercury set to touch 40o C and heat wave hitting across the country.
• Only 21% water left in all Indian water reservoirs due to below normal monsoon for last two years.

See the image above, it was clicked few days ago in Latur, Maharashtra. Hope you have well understood the above situations in the country. Your area might not be affected with such drought conditions but such situation is not very far from you. We have no control in climatic situations but surely we can do a lot when such crisis is there. Conserving and using water wisely is not the responsibility of my, your or an individual but it’s the responsibility of all people irrespective from any area, income group or profession. Whether we live in a location where water is in abundance, still we need to conserve it for future needs.

In most parts of the country, ground water level is dipping very sharply and the places where water could have been found at underground level of 30-40 feet, has now dipped to more than 500-1000 feet. Situation has worsened in some area where there is no ground water even after depth of 1000 feet.

People who do not understand the importance the conservation of water should understand one fact that water is one of the most important elements for life to survive. One who discovers life existing possibility somewhere discovers water first to survive there. People’s multistory buildings, materialistic things will have no use where there will be no drinking water available on the planet. The rate which the water in reservoirs and underground is shrinking, it is predicted that by 2050, most of the planet will be parched with no consumable water.

• What will be future of the planet then?
• How our future generations will survive without water?
• Will we dig our grave and bury ourselves?

If we really want this situation to get averted, we will have to do something. It’s we, not you, me or him, we all have to consume water consciously.

Water usage for various reasons like toiletry, laundering, cooking, industrial use, irrigation in agriculture can be controlled by adopting some methods through which we can save water and our purpose to use water for a particular reason will too get meet. It’s not government responsibility to take steps to save water. When there will be no underground water or no water at reservoirs, where government will supply water from? I have seen people wasting water as if they feel that it’s their right to waste this most valuable substance on earth. I want to take those people to severe drought hit places where people walk miles to fetch drinking water every day.

Most of the studies reveal that there will be extreme scarcity of water and entire India is at the stake of this vulnerability. If we did not change our habits, the day is not very far when we will have to struggle for few drops of water and we are digging our grave ourselves by misusing water which is pumped out from earth. No doubt rains fulfill the ground water level but when there will be imbalance between pumped water and seeped water, one day ground water will reach at lowest level where it will not be able to pump out. I am here not to tell ways how you can save water as you are intelligent enough and are well aware of how you can use water consciously in order to save this precious element for future needs.

Use water as much as you require, for various reason of water use, recycled or treated water can be used. Every day we flush out gallons of water in toiletry, washing and cleaning. In industries, corporate world and other profit making organizations, it’s easy to use recycled water for above purposes to save drinking water for drinking use only. In households too, there are various ways which we can do multiple use of water from. Floors can wiped with used water left after washing clothes and so cars as well. One has to initiate to do this and does not matter others follow you or not, you just carry on.

I have started saving water and I use water very economically as if I am spending money. I want my future generations not to struggle to get water. I don’t want earth sees a day where only skyscrapers will left with no people survived due to no drinking water.

Lets save earth, lets save water, lets save ourselves.
