Water Scarcity, Desalination, Problems faced in the Cities due to this Cause

Getting yourself locked into your house using security systems like your ADT Home Security system does not make any sense. I personally have seen a lot of people who don’t come out of their house. These kinds of people are very depressed for no reason of theirs. They don’t know the world around them, as they don’t talk to anybody. All they do is sit idle inside their room, dreaming all worst things happening in their life time. If you ask them a simple question, like do have water in your house. There is a possibility that they might say that they don’t know. So if you are in a position to ask a question, is there a water problem in our area or locality or village, then you are likely to get a ‘don’t know’ again. So check for lot of questions to find answers for you. However, if you ask a person who takes part in a lot of social activities in the same area or a locality, then the same question will have different answers. Right now I am not trying to talk about people, or there mentalities. So you might be wondering what I am actually talking about. Let’s find out what’s this article all about with a heading like water scarcity.

Today, I am going to touch a little about water and its scarcity. I may not be talking about scarcity alone. However, I might talk about water desalination as well. A lot of people might be wondering what exactly is desalination. Why do we need to know about desalination? Is there a benefit in talk about topics like this? These can be some of the things we might have to probe into. Then for sure, we will get an answer for all the above questions before this article ends. One thing that everybody on earth is very clear about is that we all need water to survive. If we dig back into our history of just fifty to hundred years ahead, or ask our grandfathers or great grandfathers, one question. We will get all the answers that we require. This is one area of thought that says ‘we can learn from our elders as well’. Now let’s get the answer, our grandfather wants to give to us. Today if people in the modern world do not have water scarcity, we don’t have to ask any of these questions at all. Visit any city in the world, and enquire about the water scarcity there. You will be in a position to know if all the areas in the city get pure fresh water to survive. An exception is the country side; you will find a lot of streams of fresh water over there. These areas generally will have very less people living. Not many industries found in the area. However, they have agricultural lands and use a lot of water for irrigation purposes from the streams or rivers flowing nearby. That’s one of the reasons the people there have sufficient water.

The scenario is exactly the opposite in the cities today. Most cities do not have sufficient water for their living. They are very densely populated and hence require sufficient water for their daily life. People have to buy water on a day to day basis. The same water was a natural resource and people wasted enough for no cost at all. I sometimes feel that the people living today are cursed for not getting free water. The rivers and streams flowing today are polluted to a very large extent due to vast industrialization and large number of wastes being thrown as wastes in to the rivers. Plenty of chemicals in form of garbage dumped into the waters and contaminate. Hence, the process of desalination has come into existence in most places. Here the purification of water takes place, where even salt water is converted into drinking water. This process is called the Water desalination.
