Our mother nature has bestowed us with many useful gifts and water is one of them. We have abundant of water supply available on earth and nature does not charge any fees for its usage. But the unfortunate part is that we as humans do not realize this and take this gift for granted. We waste water in large quantities daily, we pollute the water bodies, and we abuse this wonderful gift. There are still many villages in this world where people walk many kilometers top get access of fresh water daily. We know that water is highly essential for our survival yet we fail to stop its misuse. The result is that fresh water is becoming scarce day by day and this poses a big threat to our survival.
Importance of Saving Water
There is no rocket science in the fact that it is very important to save water otherwise we will not be able to live. Water is the backbone and the foundation for all the life forms on this earth. Although we feel that water is enough on Earth but we do not realize that water is not a limitless resource. If we will not make efforts to conserve water soon the supply of fresh water will be exhausted. Water preservation must be at the top priority for the government authorities and for us citizens as well.
Preservation of water will have many positive effects on our society. Increase in urbanization results in draining of underground supply of fresh water. This results in less water available for important activities like farming and irrigation etc. If we conserve water we will be able to have enough water for our farms and the crops will be much better. Saving water also means not cutting trees as the roots hold the underground water table. In an effort to save water we will have to plant more trees and in return we will create a greener Earth.
We also have to protect out water bodies if we want to save water. The amount of pollution caused by us in the rivers and seas is alarmingly high and it is killing the aquatic life. We must stop water pollution immediately and make an effort to clean the rivers that have been polluted by us. A good aquatic ecosystem will make a better planet for us as well. Conservation of water will also ensure a proper balance in the life on the planet Earth.
Conclusion
We must realize that although we have a free supply of water by nature but it comes with a huge cost of responsibility. There is a huge campaign about saving water but we never take any note of that. As the citizens of this country we must teach our children and the younger generation about the importance of water conservation. It is important to pass on the knowledge so that the future can be saved. If we do not start saving on time soon the fresh water will exhaust and we will die.
