A Strong Cry Against the Global Water CrisisI convey my strong voice against the water crisis and the lack of water storage sources on this earth and in every corner of all countries!While we travel the world for petrol, diesel, or gas just once or twice a day, think once about the coming days—about water for drinking and for agricultural activities, and their urgent necessity!Wars have begun in the world. Before imagining why, for whom, or for whose needs—every country, especially India, must wake up! Because in this globe, we lead in population growth, and our basic needs are the greatest. Shall we awaken the youth and village farmers?I have begun my journey to awaken villages and towns. In my efforts, my journey, my steps, my struggle—will you join hands with me? In India and villages across all countries, borewells dug even 500 feet, 1000 feet, or 2000 feet deep yield no water. Groundwater is drying up, soil is hardening, small rivers are vanishing and facing encroachment, big rivers are drying, ponds, tanks, small streams, and bends are disappearing from the world map. Every rural area is in crisis—every day, in every country, crores migrate due to lack of agriculture and work! Due to pollution, massive changes in climate—rains come unpredictably. Even when rain falls, we have no storage facilities to hold that water. Wake up!Rich countries head toward war, while others face hunger, deaths, struggle for a glass of drinking water, a handful of food, bowing heads to the soil, and for their children's future, walking toward other countries...!This pain is global. In Pakistan, water per person has fallen sharply—farmers see crops fail, families wait hours for tankers. In Yemen, millions drink from dirty puddles as conflict destroys systems, agriculture collapses. In the Middle East and North Africa (Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Lebanon, Egypt), over 80% of water is used yearly—deserts grow, farms turn barren, "Day Zero" threats loom. In Iran, cities ration water, ground sinks 25-30 cm a year from over-pumping—aquifers collapse. Afghanistan's Kabul risks running out completely. In Africa (Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, South Africa), millions fetch unsafe water from distant sources—women and girls lose education and safety, livestock die, harvests fail. Mexico City sinks 20 inches yearly from aquifer depletion—buildings tilt, millions struggle for basics. In the American Southwest, the Colorado River shrinks—reservoirs empty, farms fallow, states fight over scraps. Nearly 4 billion people face severe scarcity at least one month a year. 2.2 billion lack safe drinking water, 3.5 billion lack sanitation. Droughts cost $307 billion yearly, salinize croplands, displace 700 million by 2030. Agriculture (70% of freshwater use) suffers most—crops fail, hunger rises, economies stall.We are in "global water bankruptcy"—lakes shrink, wetlands vanish, glaciers melt unpredictably, aquifers collapse forever. Yet we forget storage: reservoirs, check dams, rainwater harvesting, reviving ancient tanks.Wake up! To the youth: Rise! Plant trees to recharge groundwater, demand harvesting in homes/schools, push for big storage projects, protect rivers, use drip irrigation, conserve every drop. Close taps while brushing, reuse water, reject waste.To farmers, villagers, cities, leaders: Join! My journey has started—from villages to towns, awakening for water security. Will you join hand in hand?Let us build a world where no child cries for a drop, no farmer sees cracked fields, no village empties in migration. Water is life—save it, store it, revive it before it's too late.With tears and unbreakable resolve, _____Geethika Venkatesan (Founder of Yadhumadi Integrated Rural & Urban Development Society) & International Young Environmental and Climate Awareness Advocate 🌏 #👧girl power #🙆 Feel Good Status #😇My Status #🌲పచ్చని చెట్లు🌲
