Developed countries led the world into the present and the developing countries will lead them into the future...
Whatever we see in our current world is mostly from the developed parts of the world and then there are countries like India are getting better nowadays. But all this development has its effects. We have been made to understand since schooling that we are using natural resources at a rate more than the earth can replenish it. Coal, Petroleum and other energy producing resources are highly debated and fought over! Middle east, South China Sea and what not!
But this isn't about what we are seeing, its about what India is leading into and along with it the whole world. What the humans see but dint value are the most important things and such is water. Already we have an understanding that there is already a shortage of drinking water and it is getting worse for the future. But we saw a glimpse of water war in the last week. As soon as the Supreme court announced its verdict, we saw Bangalore, the city considered as one of the most peaceful cities burning. Was it a way of showing what the world is getting into? It wasn't a war between countries... Wasn't even a war in the entire country... It wasn't even a war... But nevertheless it was violent.
I know many will give it political angles and what not... But whatever it may be... It was a reason enough for a mob to get violent over. I hope this incident is seen as a sign. Maharashtra already face droughts almost every year even though having rains and water logging in Mumbai. Last year only Chennai had the worst floods it has faced. Offices were closed down for week and over to get the balance back. Yet it has water shortage within a year. This year itself a lot of areas faced lots of rains but still there will be definite shortage of water.
I hope this incident is not overlooked and taken as a stepping stone for encouraging water saving, rain water harvesting and help make every state, city self efficient. I am not looking at a immediate solution but only an initiative. Atleast making sure that the resources we are getting are not wasted. It isn't a way which should have been waited for but it is here and should be taken seriously.
SAVE WATER... Aware Others... Lead by example... Small efforts count and A drop saved actually means a lot...
