PLAY YOUR PART IN COSERVING WATER;
β’ In this poetic masterpiece, the rime of the ancient mariner, english poet and theologian samuel taylor coleridge, describe the agony of a sailor who is surrounded by water π¦π. But can not drink it.
Deeply distressed by the irony , he exclaims, βwater ,water everywhere /nor any drop to drink.β
β’ This expression of coleridge is an illustration of human limitations . Though water is vital for man's survival, he can not create water to sustain himself , yet he midnlessly wastes this essential natural resource. There are vast reservoirs of fresh water in the polar ice caps but they are are melting at an alarming rate and is draining off into the oceans
While increasing sea levels, this situation is also causing significant shortage of water will become so acute that a Third World War might breakout over this issue scientists across the world have repeatedly emphasised that global warming accelerated by human action is the great danger of our time.
β’ The creation of water is a marvel! Two distinct gases with special properties come together to take the liquid form of water if nature had not been endowed with this potential, the creation of water would not have been possible water is indispensable but global shortages are increasing at such an alarming rate, that it is making the wastage of water a great cause of concern .
While govt. Try to find ways of resolving the water issues of their nations , it is also petinent that , as responsible citizens , each one of us should become involved in the initiative to conserve water .
β’ According to United Nations reports , water scarcity already affects every continent in the world if each individual were to awaken to the responsibility of mindfully using water resources , he could contribute greatly to adressing the issue of water shortage.
Charity begins at home , so each one of us should resolve to rise to the occasion and do our bit by finding out how we can do something to reduce our own water footprint and help manage the need for water.
β’ Water is not just a source of physical existence. It is qn equally important source from which to derive spritual nourishment . It teaches us to be a giver and fulfill our responsibility towards others. The flow of water in a mountain stream, for instance , is repeatedly obstructed by stones in its path. But the spring does not attempt to remove the stones to continue on its journey . Instead, it moves ahead by flowing around and alongside the stones , as if telling us not to collide with obstacles, but to continue on our way regardless.
Everything in this world continuously conveys the message that we shoud give, without taking anything in return, and discharge our duty in selfless manner.π
