Water Wastage

Everyday I am seeing a house which is in my locality, that a woman used to wash each and everything regularly. she is having a big house and her servant used to wash the whole marble flooring in the open area of the house, then her 2 cars and then waste more of the water in wetting the road and the outside area nearby. Washing of the cars is being done I think once in a day but washing of the outside area is washed twice. After continuous efforts of the government and local authorities water is being wasted like anything. what can we expect from the poor and illiterates when our dear litterates are wasting so much of water. I was going through one survey done from some local authority that the amount of water wasted from the big giants and wealthy people is much more than middle class people and poor people. A lot of water can be saved if used effectively. Now our society members are planning to talk to them privately to make them understand that if we are feeling just mere looking at your water usage then she should also realize that she is wasting too much of water which could have been saved for the areas which are water deficient. In these water deficit areas mainly very poor people are living or you can say just surviving. there the water they are drinking is below the standard quality and it can harm them seriously. So our step of using water effectively and saving it can be used for these people and it may help them in living and using better water and they may live much more healthier. So my question is what all you are doing do use water effectively. And if anybody actively participates in making people aware of the water shortage problems and wasting of water, even in your family will do. Thanks

Hi, Water is very important factor in our life. Some people who get ample water don't think of others who don't get enough water to drink. They waste water in washing daily all the things in the house unnecessarily. We should use water carefully. Some women keep tap open and water running while washing clothes and cleaning utensils. We should save water.

Yeah most of us don't know the consequences of water shortage and they also are not aware that how fast the water level is decreasing. Thanks for your response.
