Last night, I read an article on the shortage of water. I was shocked to know that
water will dry soon. I think it‟s our duty now to save water not only for ourselves but
also for the next generations. We should use water carefully. Everyone should plan
properly to save water. Otherwise, the shortage of water can affect us horribly. We
need to work together seriously to conserve water. In this way we can save this world
from drought, floods and other global warming effects.
 Water is the most valuable and fundamental element for every life on
Earth. Life on Earth without water is impossible. Earth is called the “blue planet”.
Because it is the only known planet in the universe where there is a sufficient amount
of usable water. About 71 percent of the Earth‟s surface level is water. Most of the
water of this earth is found in oceans. The Earth‟s freshwater reserve is getting
drained each day at a quick rate because of human exercises. Contamination and
wastage of water are the most significant purposes for its consumption. We can
endure longer without food than without water. A few plants can‟t survive a day
without water.

We should use water carefully and discourage the misuse or wastage of water. It can
simply start from our own home. It is now time to make those simple plans for saving
water every day. Sometimes, we don‟t care how much water we waste in doing our
daily chores. There are those simple ways in which we take water for granted for
instance, when brushing teeth or washing hands we use to let tap water flow instead
of turning it off to reduce waste. Water recycling could be the best tool. We can
actually recycle rainwater for our home use. We can make use of it for our gardening,
laundry or flushing the toilet. Check for those leaks on your piping or in your tap. A
small water leak could lead to too much lost or even could add more on our bills. We
should make use of shorter showers. We can also store rain water for irrigation and
for industrial uses. In this way we can not only save water for ourselves but for the
coming generations also.
