Water is the most important and valuable natural resource on Earth. It sustains all life. There is no life without water. Water is not only important for human beings but for the entire ecosystem. Without enough water, the existence of humans, as well as animals, is next to impossible. After fresh air, water is the second most important natural resource for the survival of any living being. 

Water is necessary for the survival of each living creature on this planet, be it a small worm, plant, or full-grown tree.  Animals and plants  cannot survive without water. About 71% of Earth’s surface is covered with water. Unfortunately, only 3% of the water available  is freshwater. About two-thirds of the freshwater lies in the form of frozen glaciers and ice caps. The rest of the small portion is available in the form of groundwater and surface water. 

We totally depend on water for multiple purposes. Water is used in agriculture for the irrigation of crops. We use water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, bathing, and other domestic purposes. Water is used for recreational activities. In industries, water is used as a coolant, solvent and also used in other manufacturing purposes. Hydroelectricity is generated with the help of water. Water is also used for navigation and transportation of goods. This tells us how water is the most essential component of life and every drop of water is vital for sustenance. Therefore, water conservation is important to save life on this planet.

Save water

In a village, there lived a kid who had always said “Water is very important”. He saved lots of water when he was using it. Many years later, people started to waste water but the kid didn’t. He tried to tell everyone to take care of water but they didn’t care. Then an idea struck him. He showed people responsible ways of saving water like turning the tap off when brushing teeth. Still the people didn’t care. A month later, on a cold frosty morning, the people of the village woke up and discovered that there was no water! They had nothing to drink, to wash and clean. People were very scared and worried so they approached that kid again. The kid explained and reminded them that water was so important that people needed to look after it.

Having no water for their daily activities convinced the people on what the kid has always tried to teach them. The nest day little water appeared and as month went by, the volume of water in the village also increased. Then everyone shouted in joy “That’s why water is so important and we should save water”. Travellers passing by the village also heard the commotion and as they approached the villagers, they too were convinced on the importance of water.
