gaye na ubren, moti manas chune*<br />

When Rahim says and explain in two lines in<br />

the year —— there were no water scarcity, nor water<br />

was polluted , even at that time he was well aware,<br />

that this gift of nature is how precious, for the<br />

existence of the planet which believes that there is<br />

only earth, where the life is ,we can see how limited<br />

the availability of water ,which we are using without<br />

even thinking, about the fact that this can not be<br />

produced in any factory, except through the nature<br />

itself ,we hardly feel its importance ,however<br />

whenever there is a scarcity of water we realize how<br />

useful it is in our day-to-day life ,apart from our<br />

daily use ,we depend on water, to fulfill our other<br />

requirements ,A large amount of water is used in<br />

agriculture, to produce food, also industries use<br />

water, to carry out various processes ,increasing<br />

demand of electricity is also needs water Although<br />

gone and seemed outdated ,nobody wants to<br />

maintain that type of community places and the<br />

result is, all these structures are being ruined ,no<br />

public involvement ,lack of interest to manage are<br />

the main problem nowadays, at the other hand we<br />

are not aware of this fact that day by day situation<br />

is going worst, if the attention will not pay timely<br />

we have to pay enormous damage to the society and<br />

then we will not be able to check then, this is the<br />

right time when we should fully involved ourselves<br />

and get it done with war foot level in this context<br />

our very first priority is to maintain groundwater<br />
