The monsoon season has arrived. We feel excited about it. Each one of us enjoy rains and some deliberately wants to bathe in the rain. After the scorching summer heat the drops of rains comes for our respite and soothe our mind and body. Lots of greenery can be seen around of course with the croaking of frog singing on the tunes of the falling rain drops.
Small children do not miss any opportunity to bathe in nearby ponds and rivers. Floating paper boat is the favorite pastime. The little older students go for pool side party or rain dance. We like to play football in rainy season also. Even seniors could not stop themselves from joining.
There are few people who don’t like this messy season. They want to remain inside their house.
We have to understand the importance of water in our life. Since rain is the easiest and important source of drinking water but we hardly do anything for rain-harvesting and preserving it for future use in the scarcity of water. Rain water is the major source of underground soil water which we use mostly as the drinking purpose. Can we imagine life without water. But unfortunately very little is done for this valuable resource.
Deforestation is such an activity which is harmful in numerous ways. It affects rain in the particular area too. Plants and trees are important in attracting clouds, their condensation and ultimately culminating them into rain drops. But the unstopped cutting of forest in the name of urbanization has reduced the rain water amount. The area once de- forested receive less rain. This is happening in majority of the cities as the jungle of concrete has taken place of the natural greenery.
Apart from the bad effects of green house gases the water crisis which has become a common problem in all the major cities. Its high time we must be aware and respond in a positive way and stop watching the valuable water in which our existence depends.
