Water Shortage Part-II (Effect of Cold Drinks)


This is in continuation of my earlier post Water Shortage Part-I . Another issue of great concern for shortage of underground water is the Cold Drinks manufacturing Companies. You might be surprised to know that but its true that these companies are using most of the underground water. These companies installed their plants only on those locations where the underground water available in good quantity. After installing the plants these companies start pumping out underground water without any limit. They not only pump out the water of their area but the water of the nearby locations without any limit. In other words, these companies are pumping out that water on whom they don’t have any rights and making huge profit on the water that doesn’t belongs to them. By doing this they are making the wells dry in those locations, which causes another adverse effect i.e. the farmers are not getting enough water from their wells and they are not being able to farm their crops. You know the results if the crops are not being seeded???

Strangely in our country we don’t have any such law that can restrict these companies from pumping out limited water. There should be law, which prescribe a certain quantity of water to be pumped out from the underground and not unlimited quantity. Even we, who consumes cold drinks, are also responsible and part of the shortage of underground water. When we drink a cold drink we should know that from where this cold drink has been manufactured, in that place, the farmers are not getting water and are not being able to farm their crops. Do we know that? By reducing cold drinks you will give your contribution in increasing underground water. “I don’t think cold drink have any good effect on our body”. May be I am wrong. I know you have some questions in your mind; I want to hear that from you, just express your views through your comments.

While reading your article, I have sensed how rich I am in essence - there is no lack of water in my country. This awareness silenced complaining for the hardships I am to endure as the disabled.
It looks inappropriate and impolite to rejoice over self while talking about the thirsty for water land, but I am grateful indeed for your post. Your story helped me to look at the life more globally. That blossom with gratitude for all we have and make us responsible for all we are doing
Thank you
