With this problem soaring year-after-year, authorities speculate that India, too, will soon be among those countries where water will be available for a price higher than that of other beverages. Already several areas are experiencing acute shortages in the supply of clean water. Feuds over water are getting more frequent. About two months ago in Bhopal, three people allegedly drawing water ‘illegally’ were brutally murdered by a group of people in broad daylight. In such a grim scenario, the recent diktat by the UN is critical and should provide the poor and middle class much-needed relief.
As water is fast becoming a premium commodity, bottled water companies are jubilant but also sympathetic for the poor people, for whom water threatens to become a luxury product. “With the recent declaration by UN about people’s right to clean water, the government would make conscious efforts to provide clean water. This will give those people, who are deprived of regular supplies of water, a reason to smile”, said the marketing manager of a bottled water company.
Although gallons of water exist in the form of oceans, converting saline water to consumable drinking water is a procedure that is extremely expensive and requires advanced technology.
Life without water is impossible to imagine. It’ll thus be good to remind ourselves that all rights come with duties, so that every individual does his bit to conserve this precious resource in ways we need no more coaching on. Let’s amend our ways and allow one less reason to people to kill each other over!
