How can a ...I strongly oppose the pricing of Water. How can a daily wager who earn Rs.200 subject to the conditions if find work on specified day, will pay for water which is basic need?? How poor will survive with out water? Don't kill poor by depriving them from water, Instead we must kill poverty. We can't smear our hands with blood of poor by depriving them of Water by pricing of the water.<br />Another adversarial aspect is it'll lead to anarchy to price water in state like India. <br />It'll give birth to Water sharks as we have land sharks. <br />We must take small-small steps individually n collectively to Conserve Water.<br />Individually we must make sure that not a single drop of Water is being wasted by our maid-servant or Car-cleaner while washing clothes or car. <br />We must not allow our maid servant to take water for granted n waste it at will.<br />When I was perusing mahha Doctorate, n staying in pg in one metropolis, I used to see maid servant n car cleaner waste so much water in neighbourhood. Must stop this.<br />We must stop usage of fresh water in Construction business. Our scientist must find way to make cement compatible with drain or sewerage wager.<br />We must stop those rituals performed on banks of rivers that pollute rivers.<br />Stop over usage of fertilizers n pesticide in Agriculture that cause contamination of fresh due to Eutrofication.<br />Stoppage of Water mining that is causing depletion of Water level.<br />Rain water harvesting system to be compulsory for specified area building.<br />Plantation of more n more trees n preserving old trees n forests.<br />Revival of wells,ponds, n other resources of Water in countryside village.<br />We must make our kids more sensitive while using water at home or some where else.<br />Stop industrial pollution that is causing contamination of fresh water.ARUN DHAMIJAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267904180143801631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994741050593614382.post-41303448189026260102012-07-23T18:13:10.281+05:302012-07-23T18:13:10.281+05:30While attaching value i.e price to water does make...While attaching value i.e price to water does make its effect but also promotes consumerism where people who can easily afford it dont care for the misuse.We do realise the importance of water in our lives but do little for it because we have lost a sense of respect towards it.Our ancestors knew the relevance of water and worshipped it. While today that worship is called environmentalism the sensibility towards it is long forgotten. People take a dip in the Ganga but dont care while throwing waste into it and this disrespect translates into misuse of water as well.Education,awareness, voluntary and selfless actions are more important in my point of view else we will see bloodshed over water in the times to come.Ravi Kalianoreply@blogger.com
