hey friend, here is your answer.
Water is the greatest gift of God to mankind. When water supply is normal, we don't care about the importance of water.
We use it carelessly. Rather, we waste a lot of water. But when the taps are dry, we become very worried.
All work comes to a standstill. When there is no water we cannot do washing, cleaning or bathing. We cannot cook our meals and have no water to drink. People run to all places in search of water, carrying cans and buckets.
The day without water causes a lot of problems and hardships. A day without water only makes us realise the importance of water.

Dear Diary,
Things that have become a simple everyday task here would be considered such a chore back home. Hand washing all our clothes every evening, scrubbing them until our hands our red raw, boiling the kettle about ten times to get enough water to fill the buckets,and also washing ourselves with a simple bucket and soap. Spending the evenings sitting on the porch for hours on end, watching the moon rise higher into the night sky. Walking 3km to school and 3km back everyday in the 40’c heat and under the scorching sun no loner seems a big deal.
Living without running water and at times, without electricity, is simply a way of life at this stage. In a land where water is precious and reigns all, its magnitude of importance is hard to comprehend. The town can ‘run out of internet’ and not bat an eyelid, everyone goes on as if nothing has happened, nothing of value has been lost. However, you take away water and life ceases to exist. The river has totally dried up, and all fish and plant life have disappeared.
At home it is a simple commodity one takes for granted most of our lives. We throw it away, flush it, take hour long baths or showers, fill up swimming pools or hot tubs, use it to water our gardens. But have we, have YOU, ever thought about life without water? Would we survive? Probably not, considering 2 billion people all over the world are suffering from a variety of illnesses, many life threatening, due to lack of access to water on a daily basis.
