" The hazardous situation we may face in future" is that
Answers
Answer:
Water is being used as if it is a never-ending source. Obviously, we cannot decide how much rain
we will get, nor can we predict to a good degree of accuracy when rain would occur. The only
thing we can do to save ourselves from the dangerous situation of "lack of water to drink while
we are thirsty" is to conserve water.
(2) Let us ask ourselves how much water is wasted when we brush our teeth due to the non-stop flow
from the tap. Water is wasted while washing clothes, cleaning dishes and flushing the toilet. Most
of us know about these things but realizing it and taking remedial steps is crucial. We can impart
the message of conservation to our children in school so that the younger generation today will
become responsible citizens of tomorrow.
(3) All of us can conserve at least a bucket of water everyday by using the scarce resource prudently.
Please remember, a bucket of water saved by every individual everyday in our country of billion-
plus means enormous.
4) We may become richer if we have a lot of gold reserves, but we will die if we don't have water. In
India, where agriculture is the primary occupation for many people, water conservation is a
must.
