Today we had online discussion through zoom app about the water consumption.

We had presented about how water is consumed, its effects and awareness. We had also presented how current situation of corona virus has affected water consumption and its future analysis.

Then we discussed about the water availability in our areas. In my area, water comes around once in a week. We have a 1500 litres tank to store water for a week. Every family in my society uses this method to store water.

Sir asked me how do I manage and don’t we ever face shortage of water. I shared about how we use it very carefully. Fill extra buckets for washing utensils and clothes in advance. But until now we have never faced shortage of water yet. So I liked the way he encouraged my society’s idea about saving water and advice everybody to follow this method.

After giving a second thought about saving lots of water personally. I came to know the importance of water in my hostel where we had played holi with water and were punished for doing so. We were not given water for that entire day. After that I had never even had a second thought about wasting it.

So sir then told us to bring out water saving importance to a specific area to be explained to the children. I feel during the festival of colours we usually tend to waste a lot of water. So what if we make something related to this topic and create awareness amongst youngsters and children mainly.

We haven’t yet finalized the idea but we are still working over it.

Stay tuned to know more about this interesting topic of water consumption.
