Some people think that the government should strictly control the supply of fresh water, as the resources are limited. While others think we can use as much as we want. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Water

is an utmost important natural resource gifted by nature to humankind. While a few

people

think that freshwater consumption to be controlled with stringent rules by the government, others think that it should be available for

people

as much as they wanted to use. In

this

essay, I will discuss both views in detail and provide my supporting examples to prove the former statement takes precedence. There are two reasons for the supporters to believe that freshwater availability should be abundant for the common

people

.

First

of all, freshwater is the basic necessity for humans for daily activities and to be provided free of cost. Different purposes,

for instance

, like drinking, washing clothes, bathing, etcetera are the minimum amenities for every individual, without which they cannot survive. Adding to

this

, they feel that governments should make sure the rainwater harvesting pits to be constructed at required places to increase groundwater availability during the rainy season. The average rainfall recorded in India,

for instance

, during the

last

academic year was 76% which is way higher than the previous years, but could not be stored by governments due to the lack of storage bodies.

On the contrary

, the others, including me, think that strong policies should govern

people

in the right direction to use

water

in a limited way to save it for future generations. Due to the lack of proper ,governance pure

water

facilities are enjoyed by only the richer communities, leaving the poor

people

in thrust. Many independent gated communities,

for example

, are never bothered about it, as they are consuming 77% of

water

in Hyderabad city as per the statistics of the renowned News channel. Apart from

this

, the misconsumption of

this

natural resource is another reason for

this

phenomenon. Many resorts and hotels,

for instance

, are using Millions of Gallons in games and swimming pools for recreation and entertainment purposes. In conclusion, many

people

think that freshwater delivery to be controlled by the government policies, while others think that they should not charge any amount to use it. I completely opine that local government should closely monitor its usage as it is the basic necessity for everyone and to be shared between poor and rich with equality.
