Life started from water, our body is made up of 60% of water. Brain and heart of adult human composed of 73% water. Our planet has 70% of water. Water is very important for human existence. Though there no option available for it and we know it is available in limited quantity but still we waste it, pollute it. It is like we are destroying our life source with our own hands.
In the future water is going to be a scares resource. If we don’t act now, our grandchildren might kill each for water. We, humans, have created this problem and we can solve it too. We need to conserve water and we should prevent it from pollution. We, collectively and individually need to get habits, rules, and policies which will help solve the future and in some areas imminent water crisis.
Water Pollution
First and most important thing is that we need to make best of what is available to us.
Rain Water Harvesting
In this method, we collect the rainwater from terraces, rooftops to one place and let it absorb in the ground. If this is done by all, within few year groundwater level will increase and that water can be pumped with wells and borewells. We can also store this water and use for different purposes too.
There is another technique called Paan-Lot in which rainwater flow is obstructed with different small and big structures. This provides more time for water to get absorbed in the ground which helps to raise groundwater level. Because of this grass, plants will flourish in that area which in return hold soil and obstruct water and help it to get absorbed in the ground.
Maharashtra’s drought-prone region is an excellent example of the paan-lot system. Bollywood film star Aamir Khan, his Satyamev Jayate team, Paani Foundation, and other experts came together and introduced a Water Cup. It is competition between drought-prone villages, in which different villages compete with each other to conserve rainwater with paan lot techniques. No funds are given
to these villages they need to do it themselves, popularly it is called as “Shram Daan”, this project is not only conserving water but mending the bond between villagers.
It is an age-old technique used by our ancestors, such solutions, mechanism are available which can help us to solve the water crisis. But we need to have people participate in it to work. Celebrities who enjoys massive fan following and brand value can help spread the message. Celebrities like Aamir Khan, Nana Patekar, Makarand Anaspure taking an active part in the solution. We need to appreciate and join such efforts.
River Rejuvenation
As we said earlier, India is a tropical country and most of part of India see a good amount of rain, thus we have good rivers coverage too. But a lot of rivers doesn’t flow a year around. Rainwater runs down through rivers in 3 to 4 months after that river dries up.
We need to rejuvenate dried up rivers. Social initiatives like “Save Rivers” from Isha foundation should be appreciated and implemented. If we rejuvenate the existing rivers a big set of a population will get the water for use. Ganga is the biggest and most revered river in India. It is considered as a goddess too but we have polluted it beyond imagination. Million of people from Delhi to West Bengal live by this river, if we cleaned and made it pollution free, it will provide not just water but a lively hood for millions of people who live by the river. We have seen the Indian government have a separate ministry for this work, this is a good initiative and needs to be implemented.
River Linking
The Indian government is framing an ambitious plan to link selected Indian rivers. Under which excess water from one river will be diverted to other areas which don’t have good rainfall. It is a geologically risky plan, the government needs to consider all pros and cons. But if river linking works as planned it will benefit millions of people directly and indirectly. While doing so, the government should consider and find solutions to preserve water life and surrounding ecology.
Water Bodies and river beautification
We need to clean existing clogged water bodies like lakes, dams, ponds, wells so that it collects and saves more water. We also need to do river beatification like Sabarmati riverfront, it will increase awareness and people will acknowledge the importance of rivers and water conservation.
We also need to build more dams, it increases water storage and also helps to create electricity which is also a big problem in India. But the government needs to consider all environmental, ecological impacts while building dams.
Conclusion
Water is the base of life, its where life is started. We can survive with the underperforming economy, basic infrastructure, and absence of social media but we cannot survive without water. We need to acknowledge the importance of water and take part in government initiatives to solve the problem. We also need to take individual efforts too.
Hello friends!
I have already answered this question before, so I am just copying it from the previous answer that i have answered.

Water conservation is the only way to save water to solve the problem of water scarcity in the future. In India and other countries of the world, there is a huge shortage of water, due to which the common people have to make long distances for drinking water as well as preparing them for everyday water.
Water is the most essential source of life on earth because we need water to perform all the functions of life, such as drinking, making food, bathing, washing clothes, etc. for the crop. We need to save water for the proper supply of water for a future generation without polluting it. We must stop the waste of water, use water properly and maintain water quality.
When I look at clean foreign cities and rural areas in movies, I wonder how beautiful and clean this place is. The snowy mountains of Switzerland, the windows adorned with flowers from Italy and the sandy beaches of Australia make us enchant with our beauty and cleanliness. In our India, there is no shortage of such unprecedented tourist sites, historical monuments, heritage sites and majestic castles, but why do not they look like foreign counterparts?
Cleaning the country is not the only government work, it is our responsibility too. We should have a sense of goodness in people but here is our basic problem. We blame the government, others, and do nothing themselves. I have learned one thing from the father of our country.
Its aim is to create global awareness in the rural areas for the general public and it is designed to connect with public health.
so we should always keep our surrounding neat and clean.
There are a few simple things we need to do to clean our India.
1. Throw garbage in the garbage cans
2. Do not encourage spitting, if you are doing it, immediately condemn people.
3. Avoid plastic cover, plastic disposables
4. When you go shopping, take a bag with you, learn the same people around you
5. Development of more trees
hope u liked it!
