World Water Day: Do Not Ignore Water Conservation

Have you ever thought, how life would be without water? Take a guess? Yes, you are right, there is no life without water. Water is the base of our life, “no water no life” and we all are dependent on this, not in daily but in hourly basis. Nature is our mother and unlike some resources, water is LIMITED. And it is our responsibility to save water for our own survival.

But, after knowing the importance as well, why still every other day we need to remind people not to waste and save water as much as possible? Why don’t some people understand their biggest responsibility? Water is more precious than diamonds, platinum, and gold. Definitely, after few years, everybody will realize the same. It sounds silly, right? But this is going to be real. Time is alarming now for us. If not, ready for the third world war!!

So, on this world water day, let's understand the importance of this day and why we cannot afford to skip water conservation anymore.

The Importance:

World Water Day, 22nd March, is an international observance day which is about inspiring people and get attention on the importance of water. To remind people about the most important element that sustain life on the planet, water. This is the awareness about water shortage, which is rising every day everywhere, and related issues to work on it and make the difference. Like previous years, in 2018, the theme is, ‘Nature for Water’, which explores nature-based solutions to the water challenges.

This global problem of the water crisis is one of the issues which requires immediate action. The challenges other than basic needs, include water pollution, inadequate water supply, water scarcity and the lack of sanitation for billions of people around of the world. Other environmental damage, together with climate change, is resulting in water-related crises which we see around the world like floods, drought and degraded vegetation, soil, rivers and lakes. At the end, if we don’t take action, we would only make it tough to provide clean water for the survival of everybody.

Why Do We Celebrate World Water Day?

Considering water as an extremely important resource for a healthy body, the UN General Assembly had decided to call attention towards water shortage and related challenges. Continuing this, the UN member states, agencies and some NGOs involved in the promotion of water conservation. This campaign also contributes towards the supply of clean and purified water.

And, to mark World Water Day every year, people need to promote this and should be reminded of the water challenges and its role in our lives and at last the importance. So that, the coming generation see water in lakes and rivers and not in BOTTLES and would be able to enjoy the way we do now.

World Water Day plan started in 1992 by United Nations Conference on Environment and Development where an international observance for water was recommended. Then it was designated on March 22, 1993, as the first World Water Day, which continues annually since then.

Some Reasons for Conserving Water:

• Water is limited and does not have a limitless supply.
• 97% of all water on earth is salty, hence we have 3% fresh water and out which 1% is drinking water. It's scary but true!
• We have a dense population and all rely on 1%. Use wisely, do your responsibility and conserve water!
• Conserve water for plants, water bodies and for some endangered animals as well.
• Water conservation results in the goodness of environment and nature, and make it drought and flood free.
• Conserve water for a better tomorrow and coming generation.

USE WISELY AND SAVE THE NATURE!!
