Water! The basic necessity of life. Something not one of us can
survive without. This is one resource which we all have taken for
granted for centuries now. Come on have a look at the map of the world
it doesn’t seem like there is any scarcity of it right? But then stop
and think, none of us can survive on that saline resource. The fresh
water that we humans need to survive is the water that is become
scarce day by day.
This is a global crisis which is building on the low. The reason we
don’t realize that we are falling short of it, is because we have
enough running water throughout the day in our taps and then of course
we have the “best tasting” water that is bottled up by huge corporate
companies and sold to us at high costs. We as humans don’t realize the
value of something until we lose it, but till the time we realize the
value of this life force we might not exist.
It is time to come together and make the human race realize that we
need to conserve water for our existence and not privatize it to make
profits. This is not a commodity to make money with, because all that
money will be of no use if we are dead.
This summit is a step towards building a movement that will create
realization and stop the waste of the most important resource on the
face of this earth. So lets start working.
