    ACTIVE CITIZEN

    INTRODUCTION 3

    INTRODUCTION
    Waste generation is a natural part of human activity. But we can
    limit the type of waste and quantity of waste produced. Often
    we have been repelled by offensive smell. The sight of open
    drains is disgusting. The situation worsens in the rainy season
    when the drains start overflowing. We have to wade through the
    mud pools on the roads. Most unhygienic and unsanitary
    conditions prevail. Flies, mosquitoes and other insects breed in
    it.
    HOW WATER
    AFFECT’S OUR
    LIFE?
    Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking
    water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear
    thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to
    constipation and kidney stones. Water has no calories, so it can also help
    with managing body weight and reducing calorie intake when substituted
    for drinks with calories, such as sweet tea or regular soda.
    Water helps your body:
    •Keep a normal temperature.
    •Lubricate and cushion joints.
    •Protect your spinal cord and other sensitive tissues.
    •Get rid of wastes through urination, perspiration, and bowel
    movements.
    DID YOU KNOW? 5

    DID YOU KNOW?


    It has been suggested that we should plant
    eucalyptus trees all along sewage ponds. These
    trees absorb all surplus wastewater rapidly and
    release pure water vapour into the atmosphere.

    HOW TO BE AN
    ENLIGHTENED CITIZEN?
    You can be an enlightened citizen and approach the municipality
    or the gram panchayat. Insist that the open drains be covered. If
    the sewage of any particular house makes the neighbourhood
    dirty, you should request them to be more considerate about
    others’ health. request them to be more considerate about others’
    health.
    How To Save Water? 7

    HOW TO SAVE
    WATER?
    •Keeping the tap closed when not in use.
    •Check for the openings or leaks in water distribution pipes.
    •Make sure to use collected rainwater for gardening or washing
    purpose.
    •Always have a measure of how many buckets of water is wasted in a
    day and try to reduce.
    •Do not run more water than necessary while washing and cleaning
    clothes, utensils, etc.
    •Do not prolong your bathing. Go for a quick shower rather than
    wasting buckets of water
    •Rainwater harvesting is one of the best method used for conserving
    water. There are different methods used to preserve rainwater instead
    of getting it wasted.
