Water

Water is one of the most essential of elements. No animals or plants can survive without water. Even the animals which live in the desert need water to carry on their physiological processes of the body. So we can say that water is as important as the air that we breathe. In that case we have to consider ourselves really lucky because we are the citizens of a country which has more than 6 thousand rivers and streams within its borders. However, the reality doesn't suggest us to be excited about that because water scarcity is at the same time one of the burning problems that we are facing. It is very ironic that we should live that way. The main victims of this problem are the people living in the capital city, which is the biggest and the most populated city of Nepal. A long line of buckets can be seen before all taps and natural springs. People sometimes fight for water and it's a terrible tragedy that people have to go through this when Nepal is one of the richest countries in water resources.
The problem has already reached alarming heights. The people celebrate when water comes to their taps like the way they celebrate their birthdays or their promotion day. It is an occasion. Hardly anyone can afford to bathe or wash his or her clothes regularly.
It's high time we started making an effort to do something from our side and not just blame the government for the problem. The first and the foremost things that each one of us can do is stop misusing the water and try to create public awareness. The government has the biggest responsibility and should take this problem with seriousness and make prompt decisions and implement them as soon as possible. The water distribution schemes should be planned out systematically. Then only, the public will get some relief and we all can take the pride of the huge water resources that our country possesses.
