Nature has given us resources in abundance. We human are the superior brains on Earth and living on the resources by nature.

We have employed our intelligence to commercialize the natural resources to produce energy for our living by setting up industries, and manufacturing units. water has its natural repletion cycle.

When the water cycle is disturbed due to human intervention, cutting of trees, depeletion of soil pollutes the water and the ground water level goes low. The shortage of water is result of this.

Because all the 71% is in the form of

Salty water present in oceans and seas.

So it cannot be utilised for daily

Purposes like bathing, drinking etc. So

For clean water there is only 3% Clean

Water. out of that 3%, 2% is the form of

Glaciers so. only 1% Is the form of

Clean water in lakes, rivers etc........
