The need of the hour - Water Conservation!

As we go with the need of the hour, water conservation has come to occupy the top most place on the ladder. The foremost and primary reason for water conservation is that “we may die” without fresh water in just a few days.  And this is a fact for that matter! Each one of us knows that there is no life without water and no living being can live without water. If we do not learn to conserve water, a resource as important as life, we will soon be fishes without water and we know the consequences. 

• Wealth and Goodness of Mankind: Hence, it is quite important for us to conserve water not only for the wealth and goodness of mankind, but also for the animals and plants that are an important part of our ecosystem. Thus, it is recommended to stop contaminating the environment with continuous pouring of the pesticides and fertilizers, oils and other pollutants in rivers as it makes the fresh water unavailable and unfit for human consumption.

• Water saving also helps in energy saving: Government bodies use pumps to provide water that runs with energy. If water is not available in nearby regions of the pump, the pump will require a large amount of energy to get water which is also a kind of energy waste.

• Health maintenance: If there will be water crisis in the world, it will become very difficult for people to maintain their health and get rid of several diseases like kidney stone, migraine headache etc. Thus, keeping in mind that there are several health benefits of drinking water and keeping body hydrated, it is important to conserve this vital resource of human existence.

• Farming i.e Irrigation and Agriculture: Water is an important ingredient for irrigation and agriculture purposes on the fields. Agriculture is the only mean to grow food and this cannot be imagined without water. Out of 65-70% of water that we get from well and ponds, 50% is used in agriculture. This means, we need a large amount of good water for agriculture and irrigation. Here again, water conservation plays an important role.

• Pocket Friendly: Saving water also saves a lot of money. Yes! It does. Water providers serve water and charge according to the amount of water one consumes. If one does not waste water and use only required amount of water, one can surely save a lot of money that comes in water bill. 

• Basic necessity: Above all, water is the basic necessary to live life. No living being can be alive without water and it is extremely important for us to drink clean water. By drinking clean water, a person can stay healthy and fit. It is very important for you to get your drinking water connection from a certified water provider who provides clean and safe drinking water.

Some of the measures that we can take in our daily life range from the simple and basic changes that would make a huge difference such as 

• Storing excess water from the purifiers for gardening and cleaning purposes, feeding pets and birds by filling their vessels.
• Also, making the effective use of dishwashers, flushes and washing machines aids in water conservation. 
• Asking for required amount of water for quenching thirst, and filling bottles with the left amount.
• Educating masses through campaigns and programmes such as #CuttingPaani.
• Awareness is to be increased about the importance of conservation of water.

Fair deal with the nature is the need of the hour and we must not backout with this responsibility, instead must step ahead and do the needful in the best ways possible, before we run out of this vital resource of existence.

Come on India, #CuttingPaani is the need of the hour!! Let's learn to live with this mantra.

#CuttingPaani is a great initiative and platform by LIVPURE to begin the art of conserving water in innovative ways that would prevent the wastage of this vital resource. 

Water is the driver of the nature, it is where the life comes from.
