“Water is the ink that writes the poetry of life”.
By Dr N Munal Meitei, environmentalist and working as DFO/Chandel, for The Sangai Express, Manipur, India.
Water is life and constant on Earth called “life liquid” or “the elixir of life.” Water scarcity leads to every global problem right from food shortages, economies, international peace and even civil unrest.
As global inequality worsens, more people will be unable to afford clean drinking water and now, we need for an international define water right to prevent conflicts and water war. (…)
All organisms contain water and depend for survival. Water is nature’s most precious gifts. Water is central to grow crops and raise livestock, producing electricity, maintaining human health, fostering equitable societies and meeting the world’s climate goals. Without better water management, population growth, economic development and climate variation are poised to worsen water stress.
Having free access to freshwater is the basic human right, of all and sanitation and hygiene are dignity. Water has the power to unlock human resources. But the problem faced is its scarcity due to injudicious use is immense.
