Currently, I have been reading news over and over taht how the water shortage has arrived in Shimla and Dharmshala. The locals are not getting enough to survive. This is one such issue that is not much scary when seen from afar but if you really think and feel what they must be going through and how in near future, we too are gonna involved in the same problem.

They is no running form this thing. While we relieve ourselves from the summer haunt by taking long showers, the days are not far when we will be fighting for even a bucket. Already I have seen some areas in my city, that are under water crises and we are fortunate enough to not there yet. We live in high class societies who are on the priority list in case of water and electricity supply but since the resources are limited, we are not gonna make it like this forever.
The environmental issues concern me alot And if you anything like me, you must me freaking out already. I have been talking about some of the issues already in my blogs earlier.. But those were issues, that you might had pass. But I really ask you to get into this issue seriously. The longer we ignore this problem, The sooner we are coming to the consequences.
For now, most of us already know, if the THIRD WORLD WAR ever happens, it would be all for water and oil. For we can survive without oil for some time but water is something we won't be able to live without.
The upcoming situations reminds me of the movie "Mad Max fury Road" which was all about water an doil only and I would suggest you to watch that movie to actually realize what we are gonna put ourselves into.
The efforts to save water might be tedious for you know because you might have job, a long day to handle and what not, but it's still better to start early or we have to leave all our jobs, all our work and just search for some little water. Even the money on your bank accounts won't help then.
For a start, Avoid showers and use bucket only. That way, you will save atleast 10 times of water then the shower.
Turn of the tap, while washing hands or using soaps, which saves you atleast few liters of water for a day.
Take less water while doing dishes. Don't use flowing tap while cleaning off the food on your dishes instead soak them in some bigger utensil and then wash them.
Turn down the volume of water in your flush, so everytime you flush, least water is wasted. Also, try connecting your flush box with used water, either from kitchen or laundry and help save thousands of liters of water.
Use eco friendly soap and bars for your dishes. That way you can recycle that water fro watering your plants.
There are other hundreds of way to do it. All you need is to be aware of the fact, that the water resources are limitedly very less left and we have to use the remained one very wisely.
There is nothing your or mine when it comes to resources, so stop differentiating on this basis.
