    The world has gone dry, people have commenced killing just for a drop

    of water, and there is chaos everywhere. This might sound


    hypothetical but it can be a reality in near future.

    Good morning to the judges and all my dear friends. I am Master


    Vrishin Rao from 10B and today I am going to share my viewpoint on
    water conservation.

    How can people fight over a drop of water? This might be your
    question regarding the above situation, as we know water covers 70%
    of the earth's surface. Well the fact is

    Water does cover 70% of our planet, and it is easy to think that it will
    always be plentiful. However, freshwater—the stuff we drink, bathe in,
    and irrigate our farm fields with—is incredibly rare. Only 3% of the
    world’s water is freshwater, and two-thirds of that is tucked away in
    frozen glaciers or otherwise unavailable for our use.

    To address the situation the concept the of water conservation came


    into play

    World Water Day, held on 22 March every year since 1993, focuses on the
    importance of freshwater. The value of water is much more than its price –
    water has enormous and complex value for our households, food, culture,
    health, education, economics, and the integrity of our natural environment.
    If we overlook any of these values, we risk mismanaging this finite,
    irreplaceable resource. Without a comprehensive understanding of water’s true,
    multidimensional value, we will be unable to safeguard this critical resource for
    the benefit of everyone.
    Today, water is under extreme threat from a growing population, increasing
    demands of agriculture and industry, and the worsening impacts of climate
    change.

    We must learn to save water now for the future. The quality of our water is very
    important. We have the same amount of water now as there was when the
    earth was created and it is very important to realize that this is the water we
    have, and we must preserve its quality

    Water conservation programs are typically initiated at the local level or


    community level, by either municipal water utilities or regional governments.
    Common strategies for water conservation include public outreach
    campaigns, tiered water rates by charging progressively higher prices as
    water use increases, or restrictions on unnecessary use of water

    The most important step in the direction of finding solutions to issues of water
    conservation is to change people's attitudes and also changing habits which
    include each one of us to put in some sincere efforts. We can follow some of
    the simple things that contribute to water conservation, for an instance

     Every drop of water counts, so make sure you are not wasting clean
    drinking water and you are not leaving any running tap.
     Remember to use only the amount you actually need and not wasting the
    water unnecessarily.
     Plant more and more trees to increase transpiration.
     Encourage rainwater harvesting at the community level as well as
    municipal level.
     Do not leave the tap running while you are brushing your teeth or soaping
    your face.

    I would like to conclude by saying

    We may run different programmes like water harvesting, dam projects etc
    however it drills down to reducing water consumption as part of individual
    responsibility and making it as a part of our DNA. Every drop that you save
    counts so don't think that what you do doesn't matter. It takes just a small
    amount of motivation and willingness to bring about a change which brings in
    some great results and a huge amount of satisfaction.. If we all do our part in
    conserving water, we can make a huge difference for the environment.
