Everything has its limits

My area was hit with water rationing on 12 March and it is set to go on until 30 March. As with everyone else, I was dismayed , even though I kind of expected it considering the decrease in dam levels throughout the state. In the end, it’s not so bad for me as long as the water rationing happens on a working day. It’s a bit tough if I’m at home and the two pails of water I saved could barely meet my needs for two days.
I’ve always known how precious water is and with climate change happening, whether we acknowledge it or not, now is the time to manage our water resources more effectively. The sad thing is, most people take water for granted. I don’t know how we can make it plainer to them that although two thirds of our planet is covered in water, not all the water is fit for consumption. It’s strange but it’s a fact we have to accept. Just because the sun is shining, it doesn’t mean it will not run out of its hydrogen fuel someday. Granted, it’s a very long time away but we need to realise that everything around us needs to be used responsibly.
