As time goes on, more and more people are using a lot of water and the resources becoming scarce. There should be remedies to the shortage or impending shortage of potable water. One is planting of trees, but in some areas, there are no more vacant lots to plant on, mostly were cemented. So the government should enforce tree planting in available areas and prevent illegal cutting of trees.
Water management should be efficient, and people should abide by the laws on water usage. It is best if they will recycle water.

Agree with your suggestions to tide over this problem faced in most cities in different parts of the world. What I find is the people are careless with their attitude. They all would like to complain about the governments and how they are not being provided water by the concerned authorities. But could not care less about their responsibilities as a citizen.
Government bodies too are lethargic in whatever they do and these people also come from the same society. The only thing is once they get elected the responsibility for which they have come has to be fulfilled which very few are able to do so. Majority of these members are the ones who do not care about the issue that is the sad part. Thank for the inputs.

Here in the city where we live, people buys the water they drink. That’s because they want to make sure that the water they drink are safe and clean.
They have water on their faucets but they aren’t sure if they are potable. Maybe we can but we have to boil them first before we drink them and that’s tedious.
And that is the situation in the city where I work and also in the next town where we live.
But not in the hometown where my parents live. There, you can get water straight from the faucet and drink without getting sick. It is safe to drink and clean. It is also so forceful. They can open two faucets at the same time at the sink yet they both have lots of forceful water.
That’s because the source of their water is from a spring that is being gathered in a cemented big container with a lid. This is always regularly cleaned and checked as to its cleanliness.
As to trees, our hometown have lots of them compared to the cities which like you said because of urbanization the trees were all nowhere to be found already. Although, it’s a good thing now, that the mayor have already implemented the cleaning of the ditches so flood now is just in one place or two but not in the city proper anymore.

Even at our place here we are having to purchase water since the last year. As the water board releases drinking water every five to seven days. So we had to store it and use it carefully, but since some new pipeline works are taking place they have stopped supply and it comes once every 7 days. Hence we are forced to purchase water from outside.
Regarding the need for water for other purposes like washing, cleaning etc. We have a well since the past 35 years and we draw water from the same. Ours is the only house in the colony which has a well all others have borewell which is a technology which is being misused and abused by many. They dig borewells beyond the prescribed limit. While our house has a garden and water drains directly to the ground when it rains. With others it is not so as they have cemented the surface. Their logic is it is clean and looks neat and they do not have to maintain it as in the case of the garden which we have. Thanks for the information you shared.

Thanks for the feedback. Last year in the summer months it was a very bad situation in our country in many of the states. They had to start water trains to supply water to the places where there was sever water shortage. These people also had to subsist on one pot of water for one to two weeks in many places. It was so bad that at some of the places people started fighting for water. It was a desperate situation.
Governments do not seem to want to act against the people who are the trouble makers as they have to go to them every five years to seek votes and win elections. That is the reason they allow these problem to happen and sit and watch as the situation unfolds. In the end they panic when people get angry and do some patch up work to see that that particular year is done with. Then everything is forgotton conveniently till problem crops up the next year again.

here in my country there is a problem with water. In all honesty i believe now they have somewhat gotten control of its usage. in the past communities would have been without water for months sometimes years. In my house in the past we went through the period where there would have been periodic lock offs of water. we had to juggle our work, school and collecting and storing water for our usage. it was really a stressful time for us as there were moments when we had to rush home so we could collect water before it was shut off. thank God we managed and pulled through without any major health issues.
recently in late november last year the second city receive 4 months of rainfall in one day according to the experts. the pictures and videos of the catastrophe was disheartening. today they are still cleaning up that area.

Thanks for participating in this debate. Happy to note that you could tide over the water crisis. In 2018 I have been observing the weather pattern it has become highly unpredictable and huge amount of financial loss has occurred all over the world some places have been flooded while others have heavy snow and some others have no water. Human lifestyle is responsible for this situation. Best wishes and regards.

You are right, there is so much food wasted. If carefully managed, many people will not go hungry and prices of food commodities will go down. This requires efficient post-harvest facilities along with the right technology for the farmers. Biological control of pests like rats should be undertaken. Aside from cats or snakes that feed on rats, farmers should find its breeding places and eradicate them manually. For left-over foods in restaurants, there should be really a local law asking the management to donate to charity or to soup kitchens the left-over but still in good condition food.
It is sharing and proper management that can help solve food wastage.

It is true in our country itself there is not much of awareness even among the educated class who are well off. They feel that since they have paid for the food they can consume how much they want and waste the remaining which is very bad according to meaning. Being a Hindu food according us is nothing but Goddess Annapoornadevi who provides for every living being in life.
People should appreciate this and see that they do not waste food and abuse this noble Goddess. I really pity these people who call themselves educated. While there many good samaritans who give one fist rice for the purpose of charity from the food they cook for the house. That way the unfortunate can also have food and try for something better for their lives. It is a very complicated problem to eradicate rates. If food is there rats and other rodents are attracted and come immediately. The seem to be very intelligent too.

Life indeed is so uncertain; we do not know what will happen tomorrow or in the future. Like what you discussed here, having an insurance is a best step to cushion the impact of such unfortunate incidents. It is better to be prepared when we need it like having a health insurance plan.

Agree with you. Unfortunately governments and insurance companies do not provide insurance which even the poorest of the poor are able to afford as it is a mandatory necessity for all for all citizens of any country in the world. The inflation and the prices being very high. If any problem occurs it will help those affected.
Many people also have the notion that having a insurance is equivalent to wasting the morning earned with great difficulty. Hence they avoid taking the same. The premiums too scare away many people from taking insurance. Insurance companies seem to be targeting only those who are well off. And do not consider the poor as worth targeting. If they change this attitude and look at that as a major marked and come up with policies which are according to their needs it will help the poor a lot and the insurance companies too will grow. Thanks for the feedback.
