Save Water Speech 1
Good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. I would like to speech on a very important topic “save water” today at this special occasion. As well all know that how the water is important for the continuation of life on the earth. It is the most basic need of everyone (human being, animal, plant and other microorganisms). Water is the unique source of life, without water we cannot imagine the life here. Life on other planets is not possible just because of the absence of water. It is considered as the most important among other known celestial bodies. Almost three-fourth area of the earth is covered by the water and it constitutes around 60-70 % of the living world. It seems that water is endless renewable source on the earth because it is regenerated and redistributed all over the earth through evaporation and rain. It arises a question in our mind that if water is renewable source then why we should worry for water and try to conserve it.
Actually, there is only 1% of the water on the earth which is usable to us. And other water bodies have unusable water to us such as 97% salty sea water, 2% water in the form of glaciers and polar ice caps. Only 1% water is here for us over which a huge population all over the world is depended for the survival. Death is more possible in the lack of water than the lack of food. It again arises a question in our mind that why we are so late in realizing the need of water saving and conservation. Since the life of each and every living things on the earth depends on water, then scenario will get worse if useful water become dirty or started reducing. A water looking fresh and drinkable from outside can be mixed with the harmful and toxic elements through various sources like industries, factories, sewer, etc and cause illness and death if ingested by animals, plants or human beings. Here are some tips which really will help us to save water:

    Do the citizens of the world know that the world’s water is scarce or undrinkable? And if so, what are they doing about it? Although water seems to be everywhere all water is not useable. Even though 71% of the earth is made up of water, water is still scarce in every country; including the United States, according to Williams (2014). California sits right on the Pacific Ocean; however, this water is not consumable and Californians are experiencing a four-year drought. As mentioned by The Water Project (2015), in developing countries, either the quantity of water is significantly scarce or the quality of safe drinking water is insufficient, thus creating a water shortage. When the water crisis is mentioned two terms are associated with it: water stress and water access. According to the European Environment Agency ([EEA], 2015), water stress exists when…

    According to UNICEF about 2.5 billion people around the world do not have access to clean water. In the U.S. 40% of rivers and 46% of lakes are so polluted/contaminated that they are considered unhealthy for swimming and too contaminated for fishing.

    "Fresh water is overtaking oil as the scarcest critical resource. In the same way, oil gave a shape to geopolitics and the environment and our daily lives in the twentieth century, water is starting to do so in the twenty-first century." Author Steven Solomon says this and so much more as he explains his beliefs about the future in his book Water. This recent publication explains civilization's history with water and why conservation is more important now than ever. Water is a necessary resource for everyone on Earth; however, slowly we are running out of the water. Access to clean water has always been a defining mark of advanced societies, yet even with today's advancements, the struggle is reappearing. Water today is to the point it is more valuable and scarce than oil.…

    It is commonly accepted by many that the world faces a crisis over restrictions on water supply and we cannot continue to expect water to be a finite resource. According to A. Kirby (2000), the earth is covered by water in approximately two thirds of its surface. However, the vast majority of this water is too salty to use and, alarmingly, there is only 2.5% of it available for consumption by the human species. Furthermore, two thirds of that small percentage is locked in the icecaps and glaciers and with only 0.08% of supply accessible a picture begins to emerge of the challenges facing the world. Humans utilise approximately 70% of its water supply in developing its agriculture and related activities but the World Water Council has stated that it believes this figure could rise by up to 17% by the end of 2020. It could be argued that in ten years time millions of lives could be at risk because of the careless nature of our attitude to the production, treatment and consumption of water. Even in the present day it is estimated that approximately 30,000 children in poor and third world countries are dying each year from diseases directly related to the transfer and storage of water. The world’s water shortage issues have arisen because of the people who live in it, the rise in their population but most importantly their waste of this product. Overpopulation is another problem which causes water shortages.…

    Thomas Fuller, an English author, once wrote, “We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” Humans are not the only organisms dependent on water for survival. Plants, animals, and the entire planet Earth are dependent on water. The Earth is made up mostly of water, but only three percent of that water can be considered fresh enough for human consumption. With only three percent of the Earth’s water able to be consumed, it is imperative that the cleanliness of the water be sustained by all humans.…

    Water is one of the most important substances on earth. Ultimately, as it is a substance essential to life itself, it is the world’s duty to ensure that every drop is utilized and to the maximum of its abilities. We should not forget that this substance is still sustaining life on planet earth. Some organisms are made up of 95% water, while almost all the rest are more than 50% water. Water is being consumed by humans in every aspect from drinking and bathing purposes to producing crops, supporting livestock and fish farms, shipping goods, generating electricity etc. Yet climate change is producing profound changes in this…

    Despite the abundance of water on earth; water has a limit to its availability, about 98% of the water on earth is found in the oceans and it is therefore unusable for drinking because of the concentration of salt as a result of salinity. About 2% of the planet’s water is fresh, out of it 1.6% of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar icecaps. Another 0.36% is found underground in wells and aquifers and the remaining 0.036% of the total supply of planet’s water is found in lakes and rivers. Compared to the thousands of trillions of gallons water available, very little is accessible, so there is need to conserve our fresh water resources.…

    Water covers nearly 70% of the Earth, but why is it that we are running out of water? This is possibly because only 2.5% of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and the rest of it is saline, ocean based water. People need water to survive, but overtime the population has increased, which is making it a competition to get clean water for basic necessities. Therefore, people should change their water consumption habits because we will run out of water and there is an over-use for unnecessary things.…

    Water is an essential element for all human beings, animals and organisms; water is like the air we breathe without it, it would be impossible to survive. Water around the world has become a privilege no everyone can have access to it; privatization of water is a hot topic discussion around the world such as its commodity. Most of the water that we all receive to our homes is purify, in which the government pays a lot of money for water to go through this process. There is no bigger resource on this earth than water, because it is the sustenance of all living life. Water keeps each living organism, each plant, each animal and each soul on this planet alive. Just as in the same way as without air to breathe, and without water we humans, animals, plants, etc. Will…

    WATER SCARCITY

    The shortage of water resources is mostly caused by human activities. Population growth is increasing rapidly. An UN report (2013) believed that the world’s population is about to reach 8.1 billion by 2025. This leads to not only a higher water demand but also more food to be produced . Farmers will need a large amount of water for irrigation which drives the water sources into exhaustion. Additionally, population growth also causes water pollution because of people’s effluent which is discharged to the river everyday. Moreover, global warming which is also a serious problem of the world today leads to faster evaporation of water. It’s time to save our environment no matter what.…

    Water is a precious source because all our daily activities are carried out with the help of water only. Water is found everywhere but not everywhere it is drinkable/usable. Though the sees have no lack of water but still we can't drink or use it anywhere. Water helps in nourishment of animals and plants. We can't live without water and because it is scarce.This is because water is the elixir of life.Life would not have been able to come into existence without.The first life forms began from water.The reason for it being such a precious resource is because it sustains life on Earth.Hence we cannot afford to waste or contaminate it mostly because of our benefit of existence from it.There will be some organisms that will still survive, but the quote "precious resource" is quoted in relation with our existence.It remains precious resource as we might loose all life without it.Water is abundant, but clean water is precious. We are constantly using our not-so-endless supply of clean water, in our showers, toilets, sinks, ect. and soon it will run out. Sure we could filter dirty water and use it as clean water, but too much resources and money would go into this. Clean water is a precious resource, so stop using it like its never ending, the more clean water we use, the more it gets dirty. Water does get recycled through rain, but thanks to pollution that rainwater is dirty (acid rain) and should not be drunken or used. my solution, trees are the answer and we should stop the damn pollution.Because all animals, including us, need it to drink. Parts of the world there is a shortage and people are starting to go to war over it. Some countries are actively diverting rivers and invading countries to that they can control the stuff. In the western world it is not too bad, but in africa and the middle east there is an increasing problem. South Western USA is also starting to suffer and in a few years when Lake Meade(sp) runs dry will suffer a lot. Talking of the USA, there is…
