Drinking water is limited, Be wise in case of drinking water

Water is another name of life. Without water, it's impossible to think about life. Do you know what made the earth survivable for creatures and plants? It's the water. If on any planet there is water, then there is also the possibility of life. Till now, based on my knowledge, Earth is the only planet where exists water, and because of that, all the remaining planets have no existence of life.

Water is very important for us, and it's known to all. We also know that approximately 71% of the surface area of Earth is occupied by water, and the remaining 29 percent is land, and we are living on 29% of that land area. So in the case of water, there is no shortage of water on this earth. But do you think all the water is drinkable? The answer is "no".

Approximately, more than 97% of the water is saltwater, and less than 3% of the water is freshwater. We can't drink saltwater, so 97% of the water is not drinkable, and only a small percentage of the water considered drinkable. It is unfortunate that we are polluting the little percentage of water which we can drink, and it's an alarming situation for us.

In our daily life we need clean water. The best way is to store rainwater. In my village, there is a pond that is fed by rain, and it conserves clean water, which we get without any effort. The water in the pond can be drank after purifying, but we only use it for other daily uses except drinking.

For drinking water, we have a deep tube well. Through deep tube wells, we can get clean water from the underground, and underground water is naturally purified. So we directly drink the groundwater, and it is considered safe. The bad thing is that the excess use of groundwater is depleting the layers of groundwater, and it will create a crisis situation for us. As a result, the groundwater also started to pollute, although people still consider it safe. The groundwater is not as clear as it was in the past, and it can be seen if we see the color of the water. In recent time, one of my friends has done research on groundwater, and he also figured out that groundwater can't be said to be 100% clean water.

Current I am living in town, and in town we have no tube well, but with the help of a motor pump. There is a big tank where the building owner stores water, and after that, we can get water from there. It's not drinkable, in my opinion, as the tank does not remain clean all the time, but many people directly drink the water. In my family, we don't take the risk. So we collected the water and then boiled it. We add Alum or Phitkari when boiling is done, and it's very helpful to purify water. After that, we store the water for drinking, and it's safe drinking water.

There are also some water purifiers that can purify water directly. To be honest, I have doubts about water purifiers, so I and my family don't use them. But many families use water purifiers because they believe they're effective.

As I said, water is getting polluted, and the situation is alarming. Layer depilation of groundwater is also occurring. The best way to reduce pressure on groundwater is by reducing the use of groundwater. For that, we can recycle the water and reuse it after purifying it. In my country, the government already has a plan for it, and within a few years, the dependency on groundwater will be reduced a lot. Another thing we can do is not throw plastic or polyethylene here and there because those things don't degrade in a short time. As a result, it acts as a layer and blocks the surface water from going deeper to purify. Our various kinds of actions are increasing water pollution, and we should try to reduce it or find alternatives.
