You know the prime reasons, why earth is the only known planet in the universe that support life?
1. We are at the right distance from our star to have water in liquid state.
2. Gravity of the earth is powerful enough to hold that water and atmosphere at its surrounding.
Water is a great solvent. It is not alive, still it move and allow amino acids to move and react. It was water that first supported the life in form of single cell animals and plants. I need not to tell this complete story, how nature took millions of year to bring life in the form we see today. I just want to help you to understand that water is not only key element for human survival today but had played a vital role in the creation of life. I see that how today some people take that granted.
One of my junior stayed with me for some days. He used to leave a full bucket of water after taking bath. That bucket full of water used to go waste daily. I would not blame him for this wastes because he is not doing this intentionally. This is mistake of his parents who could not teach him value of water and same apply to parent's parent. So basically blame goes to chain broker forebear. Or may be you can say it is need of our time. Our forebear never had need to conserve water. But I am not convince with this because my observation says that our forbear had more respect for natural resources. They even worshiped those in form of Ganga and Trees. But some call that lack of knowledge :). Today our knowledge and definition of happiness had broaden at such extent that we are depleting all resources.

Above was just a sample of how water goes waste unknowingly. Lets make this chain again, lets learn to feel gratitude towards natural resource before it is too late. Lets teach our kids to value of it. Teach them that if you can afford water, it does not simply mean that you have right waste it. Develop a feeling of guilt when they waste. It will turn in to habit and we would be able to save precious.
Photo you see above is taken by me 2 years ago. I was waiting at BEML for bus. This poor girl was drawing water from roadside drain for house chore. That seen still haunt me :(
