Water

India has reached the moon(chandrayan), India is a nuclear power, we have IITs, we have IIMs, we have ISRO, we have atomic research centers we will be super power no doubt. But do we have basic things like food, water, shelter. Still millions of people sleep on footpath, railway stations etc. Thousands of villages do not have water to drink millions of women walk miles to have drinking water. The causes are many, deforestation may be the prime one, less rainfall may be the another one, polluting the river water is also one of the major concerns. We all have seen the condition of river Ganga, the color of water is changed those who have seen it earlier can say, there are thousands of reasons but whats more important is what we can do for preserving water. Earlier we used to take water for granted and we are watching the consequences. The water table has decreased significantly. We need to stop wasting water , we need to build our houses with water storing facility, we need to plant, we need to stop throwing wastes in river water, we need to take initiative. Otherwise we have a long coastline and if drinking water is not preserved one can say that "water water everywhere but no water to drink"
