The Water New Weapon

"SAVE WATER, SAVE LIFE"

This motto needs to be emphasized in these times because people are wasting water and are unaware of the consequences they will face in the future.

In our syllabus, there is a chapter titled "Environment: Water – The Elixir of Life" which makes us aware of the problems associated with wasting water. Currently, people in South India are facing severe water shortages. They are paying $6000 for a water tanker, whereas previously, they only paid $1500.

This situation highlights the value of water and exposes the harsh reality that humanity is deteriorating day by day. Some people are taking advantage of the plight of the poor during such crises.

A similar incident happened in Israel, where people were under the control of ISI. The oppressors were cruel and did not allow people access to water, seizing control of the dam and using water as a weapon. Due to water shortages, people were dying and unable to produce food.

Nowadays, many countries are stopping the use of traditional weapons and nuclear arms. Instead, they are fighting over water by building dams on rivers that flow into neighboring countries. This can cause water shortages, forcing the affected countries to pay more or accept certain conditions.
