Introduction
As we all know that water gives life to us and other living things on the earth. It is very essential for the survival of human race and other species on earth. Without water, we cannot imagine the existence of life on any planet. Earth is the only known planet till date which has water and life, hence it becomes essential for us to conserve this resource which is the base of life.
The earth is covered with around 71% of water however only 1% is fit for drinking. The normal cycle of water balance runs naturally like evaporation and rain. However, the problem is with the availability of safe drinking water on the earth which is available in a very less amount and here is what the conservation of water comes in the picture.
Why we should Save Water
In order to know the answer of why we should save water, first we should know the importance of water and how water is valuable to us in our lives. Life is not possible without air, water and food. But most importantly, after air, water is the second most precious in all the three necessities for survival of life.
Now the question is how much pure water we have on earth. According to the statistics, it has been estimated that less than 1% of water on earth is suitable for drinking. If we estimate the ratio of drinking water and total population of the world, it would be, more than a billion of people all across the world are surviving on 1 gallon of water per day. It has also been estimated that more than 3 billion people would suffer water shortages by the year 2025.
Though people have started understanding the value of clean water, but they have still not started to save water. Saving water is a good habit and every one of us should try their best to save water for the continuation of life on this planet. Few years back no one imagined that water would be sold on shops but today it has become a common scenario. We can clearly imagine that, in the near future there would be shortage of clean water all over the world so water conservation is the only solution if we want to avoid this situation.
Some Facts about the Importance of Clean Water
Below are some facts which will help you to know how valuable the clean water is:
Around 3.4 million people in the world die every year due to water related diseases.
Developing countries are more prone to water borne diseases.
Printing of newspaper for a single day consumes around 300 litres of water.
Every 15 seconds a child dies due to water born disease in the world.
The packaged drinking water business is expected to reach $216 billion by 2025 globally.
People in the rural villages of India, Africa and Asia have to go long distances in order to get drinking water.
People in India highly suffer from various water born diseases which costs the economy to a great extent.
Ways to Save Water
There are few easy ways which helps to save water without changing your lifestyle. Single person in a home consumes around 60-100 litres of water per day in the household activities. Only 2.5% of the total water consumption is used for drinking and cooking on daily basis and rest of the water is used in other activities like watering plants, toilet use, bathing, laundry, showering etc and if we slightly reduce our consumption in these activities then we can definitely save a good amount of water.
Conclusion
After air, water is the most vital resource which our Mother Nature has given to us. It is not only important to us but it is also essential for all the living species, plants and trees. It is also important for the sustenance of biodiversity of our planet and for food chain. The quantity of clean water is very limited and it is majorly available in lakes, rivers and ground water. Hence it becomes important for us that we conserve it so that it remains available in the future also.
The contamination and pollution of water is a common scenario nowadays which reduces the quality of water and makes it unfit for drinking. It is our prime responsibility that we should stop this and also spread the word of ‘SAVE WATER’ so that we can conserve one of the most valuable and vital resources not only for today but also for our future generations.
