Today 22nd march — World water day. A day to remind us the future of drinking water. There is no need to further write about scarcity of water. We all read about the hard facing truth of Cape town: The world’s big city ran out of water last day.

We always say ‘save water, preserver nature’. Or dry days are coming. My question is, are we actually saving water? There is a psychology working in our mind everytime we actually waste water.

Everytime we use water, we think ‘Oh there is lot of water, What i am wasting is very little amount compared to huge amount of water.’ Ofcouse yes. There is a lot of water all around. See the ocean, Its 2/3 of the whole surface of earth. As a after of globalwarming, Ice is getting melt in polar region. That too is a lots of water. So, Everytime we waste water, we thinks ‘Its a little amount, Don’t even bother’.

The actual problem is usable water. We cannot use sea water for our daily purpose. Problem is fresh water — the underground water. Every single drop is future.

Lets use technology to solve this problem.
