All we should do is that drinking water should not be used for other activities and by adhering to this the wastage of water can be reduced to optimum level.
We need water not only for quenching thirst but for doing other chorus and therefore we should pay utmost attention towards preserving water and more so the drinking water for ourselves and for our future generations as without water human, animal and other living plants, trees and vegetation is not possible and so it is important for men to preserve water and make a judicious use of the water so that we can save water for the future generations.

Water has several unique characteristics that makes it extremely valuable resource .Some such properties of water are given as under—1-Water is a good solvent-it has the power to dissolve many substances.2-The boiling point and freezing point of water makes it easily available in all the three states of solid ,liquid and gas.3-The specific heat of water is very high.
This enables water to absorb and release heat slowly thereby regulating the temperature of environment.4-Owing to its transparency ,water can allow light to reach life forms that are submerged in it.

Conservation process protects the balance of life on earth ,which would be upset by a reduction in water supply .Over use of water threatens other life forms which help sustain us .The united States Bureau of Reclamation reports that during the past 100 years ,some 21 species of fish became extinct in 17 western states in part due to the altercation of habitat .Water is not processed and delivered to your doorsteps without cost and free .Every time you use water ,your local utility charges you a fee .The greater the demand of water ,the greater the price you will be charged .By conserving water ,you will save money both in terms of the quantity used and the price per unit .Over consumption of water leads to the over-consumption of another non -renewable resource energy .
The people should be made aware about the need and necessity of conserving drinking water and we should not waste water but make best ,efficient and judicious use of water so that this scare natural resource is saved for the future generations .
If we do not make sincere and honest efforts to conserve and save water for the coming generations ,we will face doom and therefore it is most important to judiciously use water and limit its wastage as for as possible so that there will be no water shortage and water crisis in present and future .
In brief I can say that water is an essential natural resource and it must be used judiciously for ourselves and also for the future generations otherwise the future generations will cure us. This is the right message on the World water Day.
