It is a common perception that you should not waste water even if you are standing near the well and are using its water recklessly. Various global reports have revealed the fact that if water is not saved today, there will be no water for future generations. Likewise, our planet is burning, and Venezuela has been declared the first country that is heading toward losing its glaciers.

Finally, nature has decided that Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, has been declared the world’s first drought-stricken city. The underground water is also exhausted, their government has announced failure to provide water after April 14, 2023.

The tragic journey of the world has begun. Such a situation may come upon us. Use water sparingly and stop wasting water. Remember the fact that only 2.7% of the world’s water is potable. Tell this to people in your area.

All the nearby dams have collapsed and groundwater level is gradually decreasing. Kindly, stop washing the car, yard and exterior of your house daily.

Similarly, stop running the tap water continuously while washing clothes. Repair leaking faucets and flush tanks in the home. Plant a tree and protect the environment. Promote forestation and water your plants at a moderate level.
