There’s no more “Water, water everywhere”...

  “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry..”

Well the economic and social committee got in its I’m-very-serious-about-saving people day. The main issue they were concentrating on was to not waste water, one of the life giving elements of earth…

In a very intense but responsible debate, all  members indeed agreed that water is a important issue in this world and it should be diluted to a global extend. After all the earth is filled two-third with water, while we don’t have gills. With speeches that went flowing like water downstream, all the delegates showed us the dry situation in most countries. All participated in starting or continuing  water conservation, against water pollution and several other issues without showing any difference that the countries were green or dry, island or desert. The overwhelming typhoon of ideas set a green wave of water conservation throughout the entire assembly. Here are few of the ideas presented by the respective countries;

1.    Egypt:

           It was probably the best way to confront the problem, to, instead of keeping their heads clear of the water, go deep into the waters. The gift of the Nile was ready to spare water to needy countries nearby.

2.    Qatar :

           To a country that receives less than 20 mm of rainfall a year, this issue is never a small one. Taking seriously into consideration this issue, they stood up to it, and swore never to wet their pants.

3.    Russia :

              To a country who dwarfs an ocean, nuclear desalination was proposed. Nuclear desalination is a costly but effective solution. They decided to not “praise the sea from the shore” but to dive in and save humanity from extinction

If a time comes when(and many have a sinking feeling it will) water costs as much as petrol, the world will realise that we should have started saving water 20 years back. We have enough now to satisfy everybody’s needs, but too less to satisfy everybody’s greed.

Now is the time to act for saving The Blue Planet from this issue. It is our home, our world. Its time to start working for a better planet.
