Water is a gift from nature. All living beings and plants need water to live. We need water for different purposes. We can live without food for a few days. But without water we cannot live at all. We need water for our daily activities like bathing, cooking, washing, et al. Mostly we need water for agricultural purposes. If there is no water there are no food.
But sadly, people do not use water sparingly. People waste water. In urban areas, we can see people living their taps open. At other times people do not close the taps properly. They keep the taps half open.
Humans also polute water in many ways: Insecticides, weedicides and fertilizers used in large quantities in farming are some examples of the ways of water pollution. Some factories release waste material into water ways. People dump garbage into water ways.
We should control ways of water pollution. We can do this by helping to keep our sources of water clean. In agriculture we should not over use chemicals. Another way of preventing water pollution is to build cleaning treatment plants in factories. If we stop throwing waste into lakes, rivers and seas they will be clean and beautiful forever.
It is the right time now for the government to impose severe laws to protect our water ways. People who pollute water ways should be punished severely. Island wide awareness programmes should be organised to teach the public about the value of water.
