(M.P-2020)
Mother nature has been very generous to us by giving us so many resources of water - rain water , rivers lakes , melting glaciers and ground water. The demand for water is ever increasing but the supply is far from adequate .
Given the lack of water in rivers , people have been resorting to pumping out ground water for persons consumption and for farming . As a result , ground water table has fallen to alarming levels . Moreover harmful fertilisers used for growing crops have contaminated ground water so that in many places it is not fit for drinking.
It is time to wake up . Every drop of water is a source of life . It is high time we realise that water resources are not permanent . Soon , we as a family , society and nation will be struggling to get a drop of clean potable water We have to focus on water conservation and stop poliuting our water resources.
Each one of us also needs to do our bit by avoiding use of plastic , recycling waste products and keeping our surroundings clean . Every town , every village should have an eco - friendly garbage sorting and disposal system Every school and college should initiate programmes educating youngsters about the importance of our natura resources , especially water and air . We have to train new generations to adopt an eco - friendly way of life.
