Season 1 #week3 " Save Water Save World "

Greetings,
To the great people of this prestigious community, happy new month to you all, I trust you are all doing great. Well I am fine too by the grace of God.

I feel great to be part of this contest organized by @mostofajaman on the topic "save water save world". And I still remain your friend @tripple-e
But before I start sharing my views on the topic, I'd like to invite my friends @loolluv @missyleo @ekemini01 to come share their insights too.

Water they say is life
Water is sweet in a cup or glass but
Dangerous in a sea, ocean, lake and stream
The force of water can swept the entire community within split of seconds but
At the same time, it is what gives life to the universe both humans, animals and even plants.

And then I remember a popular song that was sang by a popular afrobeat by name Fela kuti in 1975 titled "water no get enemy"
Undiluted truth, water do not have enemy, I have never heard of somebody being poisoned by water. Because it is a purifying agent, that washes and makes clean.

Now let's look at the hint questions;

👉Explain that water is the only life

Take it or leave it, water is the only irreplaceable element that supports every known life on the surface of the earth. Therefore water is undoubtedly crucial for our bodies, and it's also consider as an essential component in the human body. That is to say that human bodies are primarily composed of water.

👉Do you think drinking water is decreasing day by day?

YES! The freshwater available and suitable for drinking are constantly decreasing due to some environmental factors like;

Industrial waste can cause pollution to the existing source of water, thereby contaminating it and making it not to be safe for drinking.

Human beings do not allow the ground water to stay, they are pumping out constantly without giving it enough time to replenish back and this can cause the drinking water to decrease.

Changes in climate; couple with drought and constant rainfall is greatly affecting drinking water.

👉What steps can we take to conserve drinking water and prevent wastage?

Number one step to take in order to conserve water is to fix and replace spoilt faucet and toilet, because a single drop can literally filled up a drum if not fixed.

Another step is instead of washing your dishes inside the dish washer, use basin put water instead to wash your plates or dishes, that would go a long way in conserving water.

And also purchase appliances like washing machines and shower heads that won't consume excess water, that will use water efficiently.

When watering your garden do it with wisdom, avoid watering it when it is sunny to prevent evaporation instead you can do it in the morning and evening when the sun goes down.

👉Where can we get water for drinking when the ground water is depleted?

I'm that there would always be a solution to every problem if we pay attention to it. Okay assuming that the ground water is depleted, definitely there are other alternative to use; like the rainwater send down from above, all we need do is to devise a means to collect the water, then store them up in barrels. Then boil some amount of it for drinking and we are good.

Another thing is that water can not just get depleted in all the regions, there are places that still be having springs and lakes running, we transport the water to our regions use water purifiers to disinfect it and it will be good for drinking. Remember water does not have enemy.

I remember when I was growing up in the rural area, the place we were then did not have a good source of drinking water, so my uncle would use his motorcycle to go to the neighboring village to fetch drinking water from their stream.

Note that every drop of water we save really count, so if we incorporate all these steps mentioned and more in our daily lives, we would save this divine resource and then save it for generations to come.
