Water: An Important Resource in Our Life

Introduction

As we all know that water is an essential natural resource in our life, without presence of water we cannot survive. Water is like a ‘blood life’ for every individual and the need of water plays a significant role as it provides life to the plants as well as animals and human being. The question arises here that ‘What happen if we use water at large amount for wastage and which causes pollution in the environment?’ We often use water in our daily routine whether to cook food or to watering the plants and with the use of water we should try to use water in a manner that water do not go waste. 

There are many organizations formed to conserve and save water as sustainable development, but their whole efforts and involvement ignored by the people who don’t care the water and waste the water at a large amount and this activity is mostly followed in rural areas. Due to the large wastage of water, gradually, after some years the availability of drinking water will become too low and in future we suffers a lot by the upcoming generations. We have to try to aware about the upcoming situation to every individual. In India, there are in many rural and urban regions the availability of drinking water is low and the underground water is not good for drinking and they have to buy the drinking water.   

Cleaning water through using Water Purifiers

There many slogans like ‘Save Water, Save Life’ but we do not follow people are busy in their life for earning money, making social status, etc. on the other hand without drinking water and lack of availability of water we cannot survive, as we all know that our Earth’s 75% portion is covered with salty water and rest 25% portion is land. In many regions of the world, there is no availability of fresh water at adequate amount for future use and to get fresh and clean water every individual generally prefers Water Purifiers like Kent mineral RO, Pure It, etc., and with advanced technologies there are number of companies are making Activated Carbon Filter, UV Technology, Reserve Osmosis and Chemical based purifiers, currently there is about 85% households uses water purifiers to get clean and fresh water.

Overall, we are using water purifiers freely without the fear that after upcoming years gradually we will lose fresh water for our next generation. The reason is that the every water purifiers are not sufficient to give clean and fresh water because the water as they are able to clean water 60% and rest 40% water go waste from the water purifiers. This waste water causes ground water and rest of the fresh water will get polluted.
