![]() A class three question, ‘What are the basic requirements of a life?’, has been irrationally erased from the matured Indian minds. Air, Water and Energy are the absolute needs for a life to blossom on the green planet but today, in the space-age, are we forgetting to care one of the prime necessities and thus endangering our existence?
Water is the most critical of all natural resources on which modern economies depend. Water scarcity and rapid economic advance cannot go hand-in-hand. Yet, with its per capita water availability falling to 1,582 cubic metres per year, India has become water-stressed.

I grew with the sound of the birds in the tree and learned to love from the flowers. So each time I see a tree vanish, I use the word 'vanish' because it is removed with all type of reasons given by the people, who spend more time in displacing it then let it grow in peace, it makes me sad.
The growing water shortages carry economic risks that are as damaging as political corruption. THE INDIAN WATER CRISIS IS NO MORE A CHILD'S PLAY
Mmrityunjay NandaYes, I am talking about the famous inorganic matter, when two atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of oxygen to formulate the precious water (H2O). In the race of globalization and modernization the consciousness ‘Jal hi Jeevan i.e. Water is life’ has vanished somewhere midway. Now while the crisis is at peak, people searching for alternatives rather than solving the issues concerned with the existing problems. The human needs are growing at an alarming rate, subsequently the need for water too. But the supply or actions against crisis of water are not remarkable at all. Administrators, public and media have been only yelling about the issue but significantly no one still has a perfect approach. While addressing the crisis, a 2006 United Nations report describes “There is enough water for everyone” and “Water insufficiency is often due to mismanagement, corruption, lack of appropriate institutions, bureaucratic inertia and a shortage of investment in both human capacity and physical infrastructure”.
At the end of the show, I am not going to throw any suggestions from my side. Instead of claiming on others’ faults, I would be doing my part of the job to ensure my responsibilities towards the society and mankind. What about you?
