Zero Water Day. Disaster?



We all know our Basic Needs. Among that Water is very much essential for day to day life. But for last two decades, we are facing water scarcity in many areas. Still, most of the people don't know the value of Water, the seriousness of the issue going to face because of water. 

What is Zero Water Day (ZWD): When there is no single drop of water available in the earth, that day is called as ZWD. Officially name given for this is "Day Zero". Let us call in this article as Zero Water Day or ZWD.

ZWD in Capetown: Yes. ZWD encountered at Capetown, South Africa. Has it happened over the last year?  A big No for this question. It is not an event that the water decreases drastically within a year, rather it is an event of improper maintenance of Nature, water levels, over usage of water, etc... Previously, the Day Zero announced to be in April 2018 and it is shifted to August 2018 because of some valid reasons. Got water support from nearby areas and restrictions on water usage for everyone helped them to shift the ZWD to August. Now, People are happy that August is their Rainy season. So, there is a chance to get rain and to avoid Day Zero in this entire year also. Though they get the rain in this Year and avoiding Day Zero, it is good. But, think about the situation, Will it be nice? By thinking itself our entire Good mindset goes off. Everyone in this world is blessed with sufficient amount of water supply. 
As a Human being, we should know the value of water. In many Cities, the Water table is getting decrease nowadays. Whatever may be the reason for Getting Decrease in the Water Table ( Improper Rain, Gov. not maintaining Water Level, etc..), as a individuals try to understand the situation and don't waste the water. So, Zero Water Day is Encountered at Capetown. It may be your place next. Think all of you!!!
