It is a well-known fact that water covers 70% of our planet, but Only 3% of the world’s water is fresh water, and two-thirds of that is tucked away in frozen glaciers or otherwise unavailable for our use.
As a result, some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. At the current consumption rate, this situation will only get worse. By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages. And ecosystems around the world will suffer even more.
In the line of above, National Water Mission (NWM) under the Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, has been organizing a lecture series –‘Water Talk’ to promote dialogue and information sharing among participants on a variety of topics related to water.
To make the students aware of the importance of water, CBSE requested institutions to encourage the students to participate in the water talks conducted by NWM. The Khaitan School, Noida thus conducted a talk and presentation on water scarcity for the students of middle and senior wing in the month of August. The link of the Water talk, as mentioned above, was also shared with the students through this presentation so that they could listen to the views of water experts.
The students, through this presentation and lecture could understand their role in dealing with a crisis like water scarcity which has to be managed at the earliest.
