write letter to editor complaining about shortage of water in your area and need to raise public awareness about the need of save water

No real solution to our water shortages has been presented or considered. All we have seen and heard is how to live with the problem. Conservation is obviously necessary, but it is not a solution.
We need a national approach similar to our electricity grid. Local plans such as those considered to “Save the Sacramento Delta” do not increase water supplies. They only save fish. Ecological safeguards are important, as always, but they do not solve the water shortage problem. The problem needs to be approached on a bigger scale. It is bigger than any one state, and no state can solve this problem for the entire country, let alone for itself.
While California braces for a water disaster, Washington state is seeing rain wash away hillsides and bury towns. We often see too much water in one place, while another suffers a drought. While the plains are dying of thirst, millions of acre feet of water are pouring into the Pacific.
Let’s consider a nationwide system of storage lakes and pipelines. Like building the interstate highway network, it would be a huge, expensive endeavor. Building an interstate pipeline network plus water storage facilities would take years and billions of dollars. All states and the federal government would need to participate to get this financed and completed. It would benefit the entire nation by solving a problem that has been haunting the United States from the birth of our nation. California has a great need and should lead the nation in solving a problem that will get worse as our population inevitably grows.

Subject- letter regarding the shortage of water in my area and need to raise public awareness to save water.
Sir,
With due respect, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority through your newspaper towards the growing scarcity of water in my locality.
Since last Sunday, the people of my locality are facing the problem of scarcity of water. The only time when water is available is from 4-6 in the evening. It is becoming very difficult for people to live without water. Though at the level of being the citizen of the country there are certain duty and responsibilities which we too need to follow. Therefore I want to increase the awareness about the issue among the people.
I expect that through your newspaper this issue would be looked upon as soon as possible.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours truly
