Water: a rare commodity

While I was going back home from office yesterday by 3 30 am (yes you read correct, 3 am) I witnessed a long queue of people to collect water along the way.

There can be two reason’s for this, either the water distributions system is not good (in a way it’s not unto certain standards, but considering the mass it serves, its serving the bare minimum purpose) or there is not enough good quality water available to distribute among the citizens.
I think later is the serious and current problem. Even though India is having a vast geography available across which good amount of rain available, as a people or a system we have not explored all the various possibilities (natural and scientific) to harvest it and use it for the demanding situations.
Read somewhere sometime back that most of the future wars will be fought for water- the rare commodity. This is certainly avoidable and it’s high time to have a vision and mission towards it.
And as a responsible citizen of the Nation every one of should see to it that we are using only that much water which is required.
