Respected teachers and my dear friends, I am Ayesha Mansuri of standard XI - A and I am going to speak on the topic ‘Save Water’
We cannot live without water. About 70% of our body is made up of water. The earth is a blue planet but most of the water is in the sea and it is salty so we cannot use it for drinking, house work, factories and farms. When the sun shines the water vapour goes up, forms clouds and comes down as rain. This rain then fills up the lakes, rivers, ponds and seas. We do not look after this beautiful gift of nature. We dirty and pollute the water by throwing sewage and harmful chemicals in it. Most of the factories throw their waste into the rivers.
People also waste a lot of water. There is very little fresh water in the world. We should not waste water. We should use only as much as we need. We should not let our taps remain open when we don’t need water. The drinking water pipes and drainage pipes should not mix up with one another. We should reuse water like when we clean our cars and houses we should not throw away the water in the gutters but give it to the plants. Save water - it is a scarce resource and every drop is precious.
