The polluted water spreads all sorts of diseases. The water supplied is neither filtered nor tested properly. Living bacteria and earth worms can be seen. People are complaining of liver trouble and stomach pain.In case the preventive steps are not taken in time, any dangerous disease may crop up any time.The concerned authorities are requested to wake up before it is too late and ensure regular supply of pure waterEven a few small changes can add up to hundreds of gallons in water savings each year! Here are 20 water-saving tips to get you going…
1. Shower Bucket. Instead of letting the water pour down the drain, stick a bucket under the faucet while you wait for your shower water to heat up. You can use the water for flushing the toilet or watering your plants.
2. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Water comes out of the average faucet at 2.5 gallons per minute. Don’t let all that water go down the drain while you brush! Turn off the faucet after you wet your brush, and leave it off until it’s time to rinse.
3. Turn off the tap while washing your hands. Do you need the water to run while you’re scrubbing your hands? Save a few gallons of water and turn the faucet off after you wet your hands until you need to rinse.
4. If it’s yellow, let it mellow. This tip might not be for everyone, but the toilet is one of the most water-intensive fixtures in the house. Do you need to flush every time?

Subject: Water scarcity and preservation of water.
Sir,
Through your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the scarcity of water and some ways to stop wastage and preserve it. My write-up is enclosed for favour of publication.
Water scarcity: What things can you do about it?
Water is necessary for life. Water is needed for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. There is no resource more precious than water. It is also the most misused resource.
Approximately 73% of the earth is water. But fresh and drinkable water is only about 3%. The remaining 70% is undrinkable salty sea and ocean water. So it is imperative to conserve this 3% of water. Every drop is precious. We must not pollute it nor waste it. These is the need of the hour. This is a challenge we cannot afford to ignore. There are different methods to conserve water and deal with water scarcity.
1 Rain water harvesting is the best and most suitable method.
2. Prevent dripping of water from taps
and showers. Leakage from water pipes should be quickly repaired.
3. Use the new low-volume flushtoilets.
4. Adopt water-efficient dishes and clothes washing methods.
5. While brushing your teeth or shaving do not waste water. Turn off the tap when not in use.
6. Bottled water is not regulated and contain harmful synthetic chemicals. Carry your own drinking water in non-toxic containers. The plastic used to bottle water become litters that pollute our rivers and lakes.
7. Efficient irrigation system can prevent water wastage.
8. Industrial waste and hospital waste are dumped in fresh water river and lakes. The water become so polluted that drinking it would result in diseases, unknown diseases with no cure.
9. The roots of trees retain rain water which is then available as underground water.
Conclusion:
A few decades ago environmentalists warned that there will be violent riots amoung neighbours just for a bucket of water. This is happening today in many places. Don't waste water. Stop polluting water. Stop deforestation and plant more trees on a war footing.
Yours sincerely,
SELIEVISA
