It's now not only in school books but as started becoming reality. The cliché "Save Water" has started showing its profoundness. The sixth largest city of India is facing with severe water crisis with its four reserviours getting completely dry.Niti Aayog said in a 2018 report that India is facing its worst water crisis in history. More than 600 million people are facing "acute" water shortages, and 21 Indian cities, including Chennai, are expected to run out of groundwater by 2020.The situation is already alarming, with this there is also politicization of this catastrophe across political spectrum.
“The panic around water scarcity is the result of needless hype created by the media,” said jal sakhti minister Gajendra Shekhawat. But in reality there are many few media houses (mostly print media and some broadcast media ) covering this issue extensively whereas many other media house's don't consider it to be a big issue. In a recent incident it was seen that a man was killed in Chennai after an argument on water collection. Such severe is the situation and it can turn really bad in future. "Six hundred million Indians face high to extreme water stress and about 2 lakh people die every year due to inadequate access to safe water. By 2030, the country’s demand for water is projected to be twice the available supply, which means severe water crisis for hundreds of millions of people and an eventual 6 % loss in the country’s GDP" stated NITI Aayog in its report.
It's high time we as citizens start pinpointing this distressing figures as reminder's to our government and also individually work towards saving water and get back to our school chapters on "Method's to Save Water".
