*Aarav Seth On one pleasant day, I was relaxing in my room and was seeing clouds through the window which is usually my favourite time pass. In a couple of minutes, a thought came into my mind that clouds are made from evaporated water. Suddenly, a question struck my brain that what if this cycle stops? How will be the Life without Water?Then, I asked this question to my friends. It took them long to answer, but the results I got were not satisfying. As somebody answered that if the water will be finished then the whole species will die whereas, another one said that if water will be finished then humans will make a rocket and find another planet to live. Then I tried to find answers by myself and the journey of finding answers started.My thoughts were funny as well as alarming. I felt that the absence of water will lead to nuclear wars, killing many innocent lives. There will be a tussle between public and government to provide more water to the public. I think the Earth will not remain a halcyon place where anyone would want to live. There will be water banks, people would have water saving accounts to store water. At that time, thieves will not steal money they will steal water bottles. All the wells will be dried up. All the living species will die as water will not be available. Without water, there will be no trees to give oxygen and to absorb pollutants. Water will be more precious than gold. The government would make a rule to take bath twice or thrice in a week. The government would make their own shops to supply water containers or bottles. There will be a rule that whosoever, misuses the water will be fined. In school, kids will not carry water bottles they will carry water capsules. The place where calm rivers and beautiful lakes are seen today huge slopes of sand would be seen later. All sea creatures, mammals, domestic and wild animals would die. No shadows of trees, greenery could be seen except sadness, violence and Barren Lands.Entire mother nature that was created a billion years ago we have destroyed it in just in a few centuries. Let’s imagine it in this way if the earth has been created 60 minutes ago, nature has been created 48 minutes ago and human civilisation has started 8 minutes ago. In those 8 minutes, we have destroyed the whole mother nature.We should start saving water now otherwise we will repent for wasting it. In my opinion, we should get inextricable to find ways and means to save water and use it wisely.My great-grandfather saw flowing water in rivers, my grandfather saw it in well, my father saw it in tap and I am seeing it in the bottle. Where would our next generation see water? Maybe in a capsule! What do you think that it is an imagination or a reality? I think that it is a harsh truth.Now, when you know the consequences of wasting water and the life without water then you can visualize the situation of our future. We, humans, waste water but still, we want water to exist forever. The only thing we don’t understand is that humans are not a god who can produce water. If you don’t want my imagination to become reality then please save water for the betterment of our future generation and the environment. Let’s take a pledge to save water so that such situations do not arise in our coming future.*Aarav Seth, a school student has since last many months motivated and led plantations of over thousands trees at Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, his home and wherever possible making the people around join him on their holidays and weekends.
