World Water Day-22  March
                                                      'Water Day' is meant to show the importance of water for the Mankind. It is also very unfortunate that the climate change is also playing adverse effect on the water Resources. There are villages in  India wherein there are no sources of water and people have to walk  miles for few buckets of water, while in Urban Area water is being wasted by people who are careless.  It has also become a big problem how to supply water to those Remote Areas and including how to save the waste of water in Urban Areas.

                                                     The main sources of water are Rivers, Rain and Underground Water. However even those resources are also getting dry and  polluted.  The most of the big rivers are being polluted by waste of the industrial water. Besides that there is no system to collect the Rain  water which  goes away in the Sea and Rivers. In the old days the Rain Water use to be collected  in the Ponds and in Private Tanks for using whole year. However now the said system is broken and people depends upon supply of water through irrigation Canal and Urban Water Supply System..

                                                    The Scarcity of water has compel the people to drink and consume the water which is Polluted and Dirty.  The Ground Water  also gets polluted due to the waste of Industrial Water. Hence the water crisis is increasing day by day. The 25000 Thousand Lakes which were the sources of water in Gujarat State, India have become dry and polluted. The 650 Cities of India which are situated on the Rivers are having  Polluted Water. This shows how much grave is the situation  and it is affecting the health of the people staying in those cities.

                                                    It is good news that people have become conscious about the  scarcity of water and including regarding polluted water. The water problem has to be tackle on priority basis.The government is spending thousands of crores for cleaning the big rivers like Ganges but required cooperation is not being coming through from people. The water problem is becoming acute with passing of time.  The water riots may become the part of the life if it is not tackle effectively.
