People in both pictures are seen getting water from water trucks. It appears that they are dealing with water rationing. This situation has resulted from people’s lack of awareness about water conservation as well as environmental circumstances. Low fees have made water so accessible that many people think nothing of wasting it. In addition, there has been a lack of rainfall for the past few months due to climate change. These circumstances have caused a serious water shortage.
To cushion the impact of the water shortage, the government needs to take steps immediately. The authorities should adopt stricter policies regarding water usage, such as raising the price of water and imposing heavy fines for wasting or polluting water. This way, people will be more cautious when they turn on the faucet or discard waste water. On top of that, more facilities should be built, such as dams or water recycling plants, which would allow more water to be stored or reused for potential shortages in the future. Only through a combined effort can people live without worrying about a lack of this fundamental resource.
