Water is the elixir of life on earth. Water crisis is a looming threat to many countries including India.<\/strong> Water crisis in India manifests itself through severe drought during summer every year. Drought in India due to atmospheric whims of nature causes crop failure, a major reason why Indian farmers commit suicide. About 600 million people are facing acute water shortage in India, according to the Niti Aayog, an Indian government think-tank.\u00a0Since necessity is the mother of invention, everyone from schoolchildren to social activists to self-motivated individuals is trying different ways of water conservation to fight water scarcity in India.<\/strong><\/p>\n Just as every dark cloud has a silver lining, every drought-hit region has an inspirational story of water conservation. We at Travel Beats<\/span><\/a> curated such stories of fight against water crisis from across India so that everyone is inspired to conserve water.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n A few thousands of schoolchildren in the state of Maharashtra, where severe water crisis has caused life-taking drought, have set an inspirational example of water conservation. Some 7000 schoolchildren in Pune<\/a> are saving and conserving leftover water from their bottles in large drums at their schools. The collected leftover water is used instead of fresh water to clean school premises and water plants.<\/strong> Initiated by two Indian entrepreneurs Vedant Goel and Yusuf Soni, this water conservation campaign is one of the promising solutions to water crisis in India. Some Pune schools have kept buckets at their exit points, which students empty their bottles into while leaving for the day.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Rural women are the most-affected victims of water scarcity in India. They spend 6 to 9 hours a day to transport 30 to 40 liters of water on their heads, ignoring its health consequences like back pain and neck injuries. But a group of 20 women in rural backwaters of Kerala<\/a> <\/span>is hell-bent on changing the picture. They have dug more than 100 bore well in a year to tide over water crisis in their villages. Similar is the story of the women in Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh<\/strong>, who dug a well in just 40 days rather than blaming their fate or nature or god for water shortage in India. When some men came forward to help them, they chose to rewrite the destiny on their own.<\/p>\n Also Read<\/strong>\u00a0Kerala’s First Gender Park for Gender Equality<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nLittle Drops of Water Make a Mighty Ocean<\/strong><\/h4>\n
