Water is a precious gift of God on the earth. Life exists on the earth because of the availability of water. Water itself being tasteless, odorless and colorless, it adds flavour, color and a nice aroma in the life of living beings on the earth. It is easily found everywhere and is also known as life. It takes nothing from us but gives life to us. It has no shape but takes the shape of container we store it. We find it everywhere in rivers, seas, tanks, wells, ponds, etc, and yet we lack clean drinking water. Three-fourth part of the earth is full of water; however, we need to conserve water as there is very less percentage of clean water.

We all know that we need water for our survival on this blue planet. We need it for our daily work and we use it but in a wasteful way as we think that water is unlimited. When we talk to one who wastes water, they say that water is found on 3/4 of Earth. Well, this fact is quite right and although all of us knew that Earth is 70% water, most of it is salty water which we can't drink; only a little quantity of water is drinkable. The rest of the water is found in the form of glaciers which cannot be used as it is frozen.

Importance of Clean Water

Without water, life is not possible on the earth. All living beings like humans, animals, plants, etc need water to grow, develop and live. Water is the only source of life on planet Earth. We need water in all walks of life from morning till night. We use water to drink, cook, bathe, wash clothes, water plants, etc.

People working in different occupations need water for different purposes. Farmers need water to grow crops, gardeners use water to water plants, industrialists use water for industry work, electricity plants use water to generate hydro-electricity, etc. Therefore, we should save water for the wellness of our future generations and for a healthy life for us and  the wildlife. People in many places of the world are suffering from water scarcity or complete lack of water in their homes or their surroundings.

Conclusion

We know that we need air, food and water for our survival, but these all are being exploited by the human activities. Among these three most important needs, the need to save water is the foremost.

SAVE WATER, SAVE a LIFE!
