Life with Eco Environment - Lakes, Rivers of fresh Water, Fertile Soil, Pure Oxygen in Atmosphere

My six year old neighbor asked me why she should not bathe in the tub every day. There is so much water on Earth, she rationalized. Her teacher had recently taught her in school that most of the Earth was filled with water. Samuel Taylor Coleridge answers her innocent question best. “Water water everywhere, not any drop to drink.” It seems like just one drop, but it will soon fill a bucket… ( Suggested Graphic: shutterstock.com) It is true, of course, that over 70% of the Earth is filled with water. The problem is that only 2.5% of it is freshwater. Of this, only 1% is accessible to us to process as drinking water. This is because most of the freshwater is in the form of glaciers, icecaps and snowfields. So, there, really, isn’t as much usable water as it seems. The ever-increasing population, has only sent total water requirement northwards. The situation in most parts of the world has become desperate. Water co...

Water conservation is a method which thinks about current and future human demand of freshwater. Water is a natural resource where every human needs in their daily life for survival.  Conservation methods:  Protection of water from pollution: If fresh water availability on earth remains free from pollution it is sufficient to meet the drinking water needs of survival on earth unfortunately this doesn't happen due to increase in economic activities, urbanization etc. To make this true we have to make sure water form rivers, lakes and underground water should be maintained unpolluted.  Redistribution of water:  Water existing on the surface of the earth need to be distributed equally for human activities. So that we can avoid borewells and machines to draw water from underground. Groundwater utilization:  Groundwater utilization is 25% of the total supply of water in the world remaining 75% is used from the water sources of rivers lakes etc. Dema...
