We Can't Afford To Waste Water

Water problem in Chintamani needs no introduction, each of us have faced the problem in one or the other way – be it buying water, getting water for daily purposes from distant places every morning, the list can go endless. While there are different ways to solve the crisis, the most important way and something that each one of us can contribute to minimize the problem is being responsible and conserve water in any which way possible, primarily preventing loss of this valuable natural resource.

I noticed water leaking from the source valve and LOT of water entering the drainage DIRECTLY from the valve for three days in a row. It’s a terrible scene – if this problem is addressed responsibly and timely, it is as simple as someone not paying Rs. 100 for water or some one not travelling long distance to fetch a pot of water.

Look at the photos and video – is it so difficult to fix the water leak here and conserve one of the most valuable resources we need every day?

Although there is a huge progress in providing potable water  to the households we still can't afford to waste water, especially during this time when people are grieving without proper monsoons. CC  appreciates the concern of our dear reader. We as the citizens have to notify the concerned department in the municipal corporation and persist on immediate action. Responsibility rests on everyone of us.
