MRIS 21c, Faridabad students speak: Thoughts on- WORLD WATER DAY World water day is celebrated across the world annually on 22nd March. It is a medium of realizing the importance of fresh water and advocating the sustainable management of fresh water resources. It is important to conserve water since water is the basis of life and only 1 percent of the total water on our planet is available as fresh water used by its 7 billion people. We can conserve water by using some of the following simple tips. - Turn the water off all the way after using the sink and do not let the water drip. - Turn the water off while brushing your teeth - Tell the restaurant waiter not to get water to the table unless you are going to drink it. - Rinse your fruits and veggies in a tub rather than in running water. - Take a shorter shower or use a bucket to bathe. Hope we all start to save a little more water going forward.

This is the water we have, and we must preserve its quality. Water is the foundation of food and life. Next to air, water is our most precious resource. We cannot live without water. Saving Water helps to preserve our environment. It reduces the energy required to process and deliver water, which helps in reducing pollution and in conserving fuel resources. Saving water now means having water available in the future for all our life purposes. If we save water now, we are helping to ensure a water supply enough for future generations. Saving water saves money. We must save water today so that it will be available to us in the future. We need to think of future generations, people who will not have a sufficient supply of water unless we become more concerned with how we use our water today. Water is known as the elixir of life. So Conserve water to save life. ARNAV TIKKO MRIS 21C
