I can't imagine, can you?

We all have the common sense of the result of growing crops in the desert; it’s undoubted that water is essential for agriculture. Hence, water shortage will cause the result of food crises.

Frequently, we hear some areas in the world are suffering severe drought, the farmers have no harvest at all. Try to think about the consequences if there are droughts throughout the world. Isn’t it horrible? I can not imagine.

So far the Earth we are living is the unique star which has lives in the universe, if we human beings continue to destroy our living environment, if in the future there are no enough water resources to support our lives, where should we go?

What individuals can do

Though the biggest consumption of water is agricultural irrigation, our human beings are consuming a big amount of water for every day life, for leisure. Except ordinary consumption, people are wasting water in different ways.

It’s not difficult to find out how people around you are wasting water in the public toilet, at home… But, have you aware about the result of this? Alternatively, you’ve been used to it and have no feeling about that?

I think our society should to attach importance to such phenomenon. Imagine, if every one in the Earth wastes water every day, the result will be astonished. In contrast with, if the individuals could save or less consume a small amount of water per day, there would be a huge amount of water saved. Probably, certain countries can support the country which is suffering water shortage!

At least, by saving water, we save our limited natural resources, maybe we save our lives! Therefore, I think it’s really crucial to teach every one in our community to use water sufficiently, to be aware of the problems that are likely caused by the water shortage.
