Subject: The Problem of Severe Water Crisis Looming Large in India

Sir:

I am writing to your esteemed self to draw people and authorities’ attention towards the ever worsening problem of water shortage across the nation. Owing to so many factors water scarcity problem has become quite serious. The water supply in South India, Maharashtra, M.P., Delhi, U.P., etc. has fallen to minimum level. It is feared by 2020 the water tables underground will run dry.  

There is need of changing our attitude towards water conservation. People should not waste water at all. They should use it sagaciously and like a rare commodity. Apart from this the Government should also address the problem at the base level. Proper afforestation around the city, especially along the rivers and canals should be done.  

All the water resources in the country should be interlinked. Flood water-management by channeling it to water-shortage areas should be done. The sea water should be converted into potable water in coastal areas. This expertise can be sought from Israel.  

The Government should also make strict laws to conserve water and environment. People should be involved in water preservation and conservation campaigns. Without people’s participation water scarcity problem can’t be solved. I appeal to you to publish my views in your reputed daily. I also appeal to people and concerned authorities to look into the matter and shoulder their responsibilities in solving the problem. Thanking you.

Yours truly,

Shalini
