How is water protected?

Answer 1

If it is drinking water, either it should be boiled or put in water purifier before drinking. If it is pond water, no bathing or washing cloths should be allowed. If it is river water, it should be seen so that factory effluents are not discharged directly into the river water,thereby endangering the flora and fauna. In India, 'Ganga Action Plan" was initiated with much fun fare, but the result of such Govt. plan was not up to the mark,excepting drainage of public money. Harvesting river water is a novel idea in protecting dwindling under ground water level. With the melting of ice in the Himalayas, Alps and else where due to global warming, the major rivers will become seasonal rivers in the next century. It may not be astonishing to hear that the next World War may be on the right of water. In view of the above, it is of paramount importance to protect water as a scarce item like mineral oil.
