There is need of changing our attitude towards water conservation. People should not waste water at all. They should use it sagaciously and like a rare commodity. Apart from this the Government should also address the problem at the base level. Proper afforestation around the city, especially along the rivers and canals should be done.
All the water resources in the country should be interlinked. Flood water-management by channeling it to water-shortage areas should be done. The sea water should be converted into potable water in coastal areas. This expertise can be sought from Israel.

Each and every person can play a great role in conserving this life-giving nectar by being the volunteers and protectors of water. The Government and the people must unite and work concertedly to save water and revive the depleting reservoirs.
