         The Purified Yamuna Due to lockdown

                         By - Mamta

Water is essential for life. Water is used for different purposes. It is used in household works, irrigation, generating electricity, etc. One-Third of the world filled with water. Out of the total, only 3% of water is freshwater which is in the form of glaciers, snow, river, lake, stream. Pure and freshwater is river water. As it is not stagnant. It does not get contaminated. The running water does not give mosquitoes a chance.

The huge river is made of many tributaries that come together. Without small tributaries, the river can not become huge. Now, in this lockdown period there lockdown in most parts of the world. Before the lockdown, there was pollution in the Yamuna and other rivers in a larger amount. There was non stop pollution. Every river has its own purifying ability just we have to give time. The time was not given. Due to lockdown, the river got time to make itself purify. This lockdown may be a difficult situation for us but if we look on a positive side, it a good time for nature to repair itself.  

May be 2020 be bad for humans but nature is getting time to make it better. It was not possible for nature before, because humans didn't give much time.
