'Save water'
Starting from the most meaningful and awakening proverb - "A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man."
The above proverb signifies importance of water, in situation of water scarcity. The current rate, at which water is used is very important depressing. Water being wasted everywhere, starting from the most basic is when you brush your teeth, you keep the tap open. While filling the bottles, letting the water run, while switching bottles, shows one's irresponsible behavior for water deprived people.
One can ask the value of drop of water, to people who have no access to clean water. Also from the people, who are facing droughts. The importance can also be seen, where lot of water is used to extinguish fires in Australia and Amazon forests, due to fires in forests because of change in climate.
Water is important in our day to day lives, right from starting the day at washrooms, to ending the day with drinking water or water related drinks. Decrease in water table, signifies decreased availability of waters to plants as well. To crops too, which are eaten by humans. Animals and birds too remain deprived of water, in areas of water scarcity.
According to data, a person, on an average wastes 0-45 liters per day. In the present scenario, when most of the water bodies, which provide water to our homes, are polluted. The alarming quality of tap water, causing number of water borne diseases, saving water should be on top of our priority list.
I request everyone, to stop wasting water, at your end. I wish to not see any unnecessary water spillage near water tanks, to not see running water from water tanks while filling bottles and chatting or gossiping.
