Imagine earth without water !

It means that we are not conserving water although I think that we are conserving diseases by polluting water and cutting trees.
Hey friends I am back to the new topic which says that if there is no water in the earth and no trees. Let’s discuss this topic. The amount of water recommended by the United Nations for drinking, washing cooking and maintaining proper hygiene is a minimum of 50 liters per person per day. This amount is about two and a half buckets of water per person per day. Is your family getting at least this much of water? It yes, you should consider yourself fortunate because million of people in our country do not get enough water. What about your friends and their families? Share your experience with them.In some places there is an acute shortage of water, taps running dry, long queues for water fight, marches and protests for demand of water have become a common sight, especially during summers some of the news paper clippings clearly indicating this message is it not true that we face acute shortage of water. (Save every drop of water)Year 2003 was observed as the international year of fresh water to make people aware of these dwindling natural resources. Imagine! The earth without water! You know friends that I have seen a nightmare that the water on the earth dried up and all the tress were cut down. There was no shade and nothing to eat or drink. People were suffering and roaming around desperately looking for food and shadeI told my mother about the dream. “Mummy can this really happen?” I asked.“Yes”, Mummy replied. “If we are not careful then even renewable resources can become very scarce and the non-renewable ones can definitely get exhausted” “What can we do about it.” I asked. “Lots”, replied Mummy.I think you are also frightened then think it is only a dream. And then if this dream comes true then what will you do?So, please conserve water
