According to a report which was published on 10 may 2016 their is a serious shortage of fresh water in India which will increase with time if natural resources is not used properly.
More tha 300+ districts in 13 states such as Uttar Pradesh , Madhya Pradesh , Odisha , Maharashtra , Andhra Pradesh ,Chhattisgarh Bihar, Jharkhand, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Karnataka face this thread.
Most of the districts belong to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh , 50 and 46 respectively.
This is a serious issue which we the people of India have to solve as one .
It is our responsibility to provide fresh drinking water to our next generation. But as we all are wasting water at such fast rate that it will become really difficult for our generation too to fulfil our basic need of water even for drinking .
Here is a list of some water conservation methods which we can use in our daily lives:
Stop using extra water when you flush by avoiding placing anything in the toilet. This includes tissue and cigarette butts. Using this method to eliminate these items will cost you an additional 18 to 20 litres of water per flush.
Take shorter showers. You would be surprised at that just a few minutes off your shower time could reduce the amount of water you are using greatly.
Rainwater harvesting is used by many people and it could prove to be beneficial for the long term.
Turning the water off when brushing your teeth or washing your hair can save a lot of water. In fact, as much as more than 600 litres of water can be conserved each month when you turn the water off.
Teach your kids how to conserve water and help them do it. Rewards are a great incentive!
Try to use fewer plates and cups to reduce the amount of water that needs to be used.
I hope all these small changes we all can apply in our lives .
Remember guys these small changes can lead us to save billions of litre of water.
