Water Conservation: prime concern to survive.

India is called as a GOD’s land and had a very rich culture as the oldest civilization was cultivated here, known as Indus Valley Civilization. India was also called as the golden birds a few centuries ago. The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also referred to as the Harappan Civilization was a Bronze Age civilization (3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1900 BCE) in the northwestern region of the Indian Subcontinent, consisting mainly of what is now Pakistan and India. It flourished in the basins of the Indus River, one of the major rivers of Asia, and the Ghaggar-Hakra River, which once coursed through northwest India and eastern Pakistan.
Initially we can say, all started through the canals of water or majorly say rivers. Water, a life giving substance found only on Earth which is inheritable comparing to other planets in our solar system. Because of majorly part covered by water which reflects blue color from space, it seems a blue planet and also called so. Water is life as it contains a high amount of dissolved oxygen which is essential for different water bodies that are dependent on water only and to other living creatures as well. Human body itself contains around 70 % water substitutes of total weight. A person can survive up to 21 days maximum without eating anything but can’t live without water at max of 7 days. It is an essential necessity for all living creatures to sustain their life whether they are movable or unmovable.
Earlier days we hardly use to face water shortage as the consumption was very less due to low population as well as low usage. But due to surplus increase in population and industrialization demands of water is growing day by day. This is becoming a big threat to the upcoming generation as ground water level is going down.
Here we will take the case of our own country, India. India being the second largest populated country in the world needs to fulfill the demand of each and every individual’s demand of water on daily basis, so we need to conserve water to utilize it properly during warm seasons where we need more water for drinking and other purposes as well.
So basically as human population is much more than any other mammal species on earth and is also declared as the smartest and most intelligent creature on earth till date. So as being responsible, we human have a job to take care of other creatures along with forwarding towards advancement in technical, social, economical aspects. So through different we have a bunch of responsibilities to look after.
As summer is too close to arrive, we may feel a very much need of water which may create water crisis at several places in rural as well as in urban and semi-urban areas.  Considering the previous’ year’s water crisis cases, we have to come up with certain plans to figure it out and solve the problem related to water. In many ways, we can save water. Most of the techniques can be found here.
And also adding some other factors, one can use RTI to know about the schemes that govt. is running on this field. Every state ministry has a capability to spend on this scheme but because of less revenue through taxes, it is a bit hard to implement too soon.  So we must be dependent on ourselves first rather depending on others to conserve the life’s precious need. So, we can also use several things to conserve water. We have many much solutions as we can contact to nearby school teachers related to environmental science who can tell many other ways regarding water conservation.

In villages also, we can teach many several techniques to the residing farmers and/or daily wage workers about the same if the water crisis is rising too fast. We can also help them, suggesting the method of irrigation technique through which with less amount of water they can harvest more and hence can cultivate more and can earn a wealthy life.
