write a letter to they editor to spread awareness of water conservations
Answers
Dear editor,
Did you know that drinking dirty water can kill you? Did you know that 1.8 billion people lack access to fresh water? We are lucky because we can get fresh water out of our taps every day, but not everyone has this luxury. Water scarcity is a big problem in many places, especially when it comes to fresh, clean drinking water. There are very serious effects of drinking contaminated water and unfortunately many people in the world are faced with these problems every day.
Drinking contaminated water can cause horrible side effects such as nausea, vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea. Contaminated water can cause diseases too, such as legionnaires, campylobacter, and salmonella. Many people in the world don’t have access to fresh water, so they have no choice but to drink this contaminated water. This lack of access to fresh water is sometimes called water scarcity.
Water scarcity is a major problem in many regions around the word. Water scarcity already affects every continent. “1.6 billion people face an economic water shortage” For instance, in the African region, many people die from water scarcity because they can’t get access to clean water and end up drinking water that might be contaminated. “Nearly 3.4 million people die each year from water scarcity and water contamination”. When people live in places where there is water scarcity, they are unable to access clean water to drink, so water scarcity contributes to the problem of water contamination.

Subject: Water Conservation.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed national newspaper, I would like to express my concern on the crisis of scarcity of water which is getting worse year by year.
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. 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 water flushtoilets.
4. Adopt water-efficient dishes and clothes washing methods.
5. While brushing 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.
7. Efficient irrigation system can prevent water wastage.
8. The roots of trees retain rain water which is then available as underground water. We must stop deforestation and plant more trees.
Yours sincerely,
ANJALI
