Question

dialogue between two housewives on water shortage

Answer 1

Dialogue between two housewives who live on two different lanes in the same area: 

Savita: Hi Meena
Meena: Savi, what happened? Why do you look so tensed?
Savita: Well, we get water in our taps only on alternate days. That makes it very difficult to do things.
Meena: Oh
Savita: That's not all. Today we were supposed to get water, and it didn't come. I'm really fed up. My sink is full and clothes to be washed have also piled up!
Meena: That's difficult. We got water today and I have stored water in a few buckets. Maybe I can give you a bucket. 
Savita: No. That's okay! I guess I just wanted to get the frustration out of my system. I won't be able to complete my work with one bucket. I have asked my husband to buy water from a water tank supplier. 
Meena: What a sad situation we have come to. We need to buy, even water. 
Savita: Yes. And it's very expensive. 
Meena: I've heard. 
Savita: It frightens me to think about the future. If this is the situation now, what will our children go through? 
Meena: That's true. We need to emphasise on the importance of saving, even little drops of water from now itself. 
Savita: Also, about not polluting water, because this also reduces water for human consumption.

Answer 2

You can either use the following dialogue or develop your own taking ideas from it:

First housewife: Hey, are you also facing water shortage or is this problem in our area only?

Second housewife: This water shortage is omnipresent in our country. Our area receives just 6 hours water supply these days.

First housewife: Life is becoming very difficult in the current times. We had so much of water in our childhood, didn’t we?

Second housewife: Yes we did. We had hand pumps. And even when the municipal corporation started supplying water, we had almost round the clock water supply. How much fun we used to have in summer! We used to take bath and play with water without considering any shortage! And see the difference now!

First housewife: Absolutely true! Water has become such a rare commodity! What will happen in the future? Shall there be no water left for the coming generations?

Second housewife: The present crisis does not augur well. If people don’t change their attitude to water, permanent drought like situation is going to be a reality. The ground water table has gone down alarmingly. We must use it very thriftily and judiciously.

First housewife: We must. Otherwise life will become arid and impossible.
