To maintain the existence of life on earth, conservation and protection of water is very important because life is not possible without water. Water helps in continuing the life cycle on earth as an exception in the whole universe because earth is the only planet where water and life exist.
To solve the problem of water shortage in future, water conservation is the only way to save water. There is acute water scarcity in India and other countries of the world, due to which common people have to travel long distances to get water required for drinking and cooking as well as for completing daily tasks.
While on the other hand, in areas of sufficient water, people are wasting more water than their daily needs. We all should understand the importance of water and the problems related to water shortage in future. We should not waste and pollute the useful water in our life and should promote water conservation and saving among the people.
Water is needed throughout our life, so only we are responsible for saving it.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau survey, it is recorded that around many farmers have ended their lives by suicide, however, large number of cases have occurred due to drought. So we can say that lack of water is also the reason for illiteracy, suicide, fighting and other social issues in India and other developing countries.
As responsible citizens of India, we should keep ourselves aware about all the problems of water scarcity so that we all take a pledge and come forward together for water conservation. It is rightly said that small efforts of all people can give a big result like drop by drop a pond, river and ocean can be formed.
We do not need to make extra efforts to conserve water, we only need to make some positive changes in our daily activities like close the tap properly after every use, use bucket for washing or bathing instead of fountain or pipe. And use mugs. A small effort of lakhs of people can give a big positive result towards water conservation campaign.
To conserve and provide drinking water at the door step, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also announced Jal Jeevan Mission on 15th August, 2019 with the aim to provide all rural households with adequate quantity water of prescribed quality in adequate pressure, on regular and long-term basis.
