Water: A Precious 16 Resource
You are perhaps aware that 22 March is
celebrated as the world water day! A
school celebrated ‘water day’ and invited
posters from the children of your age
group. Some of the posters presented
on that day are shown in Fig. 16.1.
“Jal Hai, To Kal Hai”
“If you have water, you can think of the future”
teachers must very often be advising you
not to waste water. No wonder we
celebrate water day every year to attract
the attention of everybody towards the
importance of conserving water.
The amount of water recommended
by the United Nations for drinking,
washing, cooking and maintaining proper
hygiene is a minimum of 50 litres per
person per day. This amount is about

should consider yourself fortunate
because millions of people in our
country do not get enough water. What
about your friends and their families?
Share your experience with them.
In some places there is an acute

especially during summers. Some of the
newspaper clippings shown in Fig. 16.3
clearly indicate this message. Is it not
true that we face acute shortage of

the class.

at home or at school? Your parents o
