It is a pity that the real value of water is not realized. So much water is wasted. Indeed, we have no civic sense and so much water goes down the drain when we keep the taps running even when we are not using water.
God is so kind to us. He has given us so much water whether when we deserve it or not. When it rains, tons of water flows down to the seas and oceans through the water channels as we fail to harness it. It is of paramount importance that we should build dams, tanks and reservoirs to store water for the lean summer season when water is scarce even in rivers and canals.
We need water for drinking, bathing, washing and irrigational purposes. So, we must utilize it properly without wasting it. It is something deplorable that even more that 55 years after Independence still people in several villages and slum areas do not get pure and enough drinking water.

We’ll have to take some urgent measures in regard to management of water as the underground water-table in many states, particularly northern states, is falling sharply. If we fail to adopt a viable policy regarding water, we may have to fight disputes and battles for water.
