Cape Town, the capital city of South Africa has been declared the world's first water-less city as its government has shown its inability to supply water after April 14, 2024.
There is a ban on bathing there. Preparations are underway to disconnect connections of 10 lakh people. Just as in India one buys petrol by going to a petrol pump, in the same way there will be water tankers at various places in Cape Town where 25 liters of water will be available. Police and army personnel have been deployed to deal with those asking for more water or looting water.
This time of sad journey in the world will come to anyone in the end, so use water sparingly.
Stop wasting water. We have also seen water being sent to Latur (Maharashtra) by rail.
Only 2.7% of the world's water is potable.
Appeal to the global people!! As the water level in all the nearby dams has decreased, the underground water table has deepened. As a responsible citizen we will save water by stopping wastage of water. You can do it easily:-
  1. Do not wash the car/bike daily.
  2. Avoid washing the courtyard/stairs/floor or use minimum water while washing. 3.Do not keep the tap running continuously.
  3. Save water by taking many other good measures.
  4. Fix the dripping tap in the house.
  5. Put minimum water in the pot of the tree.
  6. Do not sprinkle water on the road Let us all face this crisis together.
Nothing like magic will happen with this, but you will definitely get the satisfaction by saving water in the coming drought will be fulfilled, the thirst of four thirsty people will be quenched and the next generation will also be able to get water.
A social movement!!
