Water- a neccessity or luxury?

You may be wondering why I haven’t posted in a while. I’m sorry, but I was detained. I’ll try to make sure such events don’t happen again. I haven’t ignored my blog though; I have been getting ideas of what to put on my posts so that my blog dramatically improves. If you are reading this post, then I am thankful to you. Anyway, I thought I’d pick the content of this post as how luxurious water can be. This post will be telling you about the audio and visual nirvana of water. I thought this would be good because it might get you interested in water. And if you get interested in water, you might try to conserve it.

You all know how divine some sounds may be. Many people are relaxed by the sound of water, may it be the sound of waves crashing at the beach, the spouting of water at a fountain or even an audio CD of relaxing sounds. This kind of relaxation can really soothe the mind and lower your stress levels. Even calm waters can have peaceful sounds. Try to listen to as many water sounds as possible when you feel you are emotionally upset or stressed or the like as they can take you away from the hectic life of today.

We have five senses and we have to use them all in the best way we can to enjoy life. Only hearing the sounds of water will make life incomplete. An incomplete life is not what everyone wants. So we will also be using our other four senses too. The last one covered in this post is the sense of sight.

We all want to give our eyes a treat. This can be done through panoramic scenes. These can really relax your eyes and mind. Calm waters are really blissful to watch and rough waters stimulate you and stir up excitement (or fear). I hope this makes you interested cause if it does, you have a treat in store for you in the next posts.

More motivation

Value of water

Alright. You are really lucky if you are reading this post because it’s going to get you really motivated into preserving water. This will really help you help our planet. Also, whenever someone pushes you to take conservation measures, you won’t feel irritated. Alright, read on. These is not copied from any other place, these are my own feelings.

Water is a wonderful material. It is involved in almost everything we use (or not) in some way, some so indirect we may not realize them, but they do. Take for instance, paper. Water is used for the growth of trees from which paper is made. People who make paper need water to live. Machinery used for making paper also needs water for maintenance. Transportation of paper also requires water, both for the people transferring it and for the vehicles they use. Shopkeepers drink water and we, the people who use paper also need water. Understood? There are many other situations like these. Try to analyze them. It will really help and be fun.

The fun part of getting yourself motivated will be on the next post. Do read it and post your comments so I can concentrate on catering to your needs.

Get inspired...

Loads of people know how to conserve water but the trick is to get motivated. Face it, without motivation, you’ll just try conservation practices for a few days and then quit. Here are a few ways to get yourself motivated:

1. Try to go 3 hours without any drinks. You’ll really see water in a new light. By 3 hours, I don’t mean while you are sleeping.
2. Remember that without water, your favorite drinks will also be in short supply. Water recreation will also be at an all time low.
3. Most of the materials used today have water involved in their production. This means all your favorite items will be affected.
4. Water is used in electricity. Just think.
5. Try to like water more. In the next post, I will try to help you see water in a new light.

Hiding The Truth

Welcome back. This time I’ve prepared a list of the ‘hidden’ ways in which water is wasted. Here they are:

1. Showers:

While we spend a lot of time in the shower, we don’t realize that we are wasting around a litre of water every minute. Take short showers or use much more economic methods of washing yourself.

2. Gardening

Most people just spray water all over their garden and this leads to mucho wasto. Water only the plants.

3. Playing

Playing around with water (not swimming) is okay once in a while and you may feel you are not wasting much water. However, most of these playtime activities may waste much more water than you think. If you really want to play, fill a bucket with water and use only that water. See 20 litres waste away and learn your lesson.

4. Leaking taps

This may seem like a small problem but a leaking tap can waste 1200 litres of water per year. Insist on getting the taps fixed right now!!!

5. Thirst

Cut down on really salty food such as chips so that you don’t feel thirsty all the time. If you are thirsty, drink water right now so that your thirst doesn’t build up, causing you to drink more. However, it is always necessary to quench your thirst and I will not be responsible for any dehydration or anything.

6. Production

Production uses a lot of water both for the creation of objects and to maintain the machines. Try to recycle things.

Here is a short table showing how much water is used in an average day.

Purpose	Water Used (litres)
Drinking	3
Cooking	4
Bathing	20
Flushing	40
Washing Clothes	40
Washing Utensils	20
Gardening	13

Total=140 litres

Water Forever!

If anyone asks you to list the uses of water, you may say, about 20-30 uses and then be at a loss for words. This is natural. We are using water in a lot of ways and we don't even know when, where and how much water we are using. This is one of the main causes of water scarcity- wastage of water. The 'hidden' uses which lead to the wastage of water will be given in the next post so check it out.

Can you tell any other reason of water scarcity other than wastage? Almost any reason I can think of involves wastage. So the answer to water scarcity is simple- no wastage. Simple? Not really. In the following posts I will talk about many methods of water conservation and you will soon understand that the answer is not so simple. However, it's not too difficult either, the way I see it and will show you.
