The most precious gift of nature to humanity is water. Since life on earth cannot exist without it, water can also be referred to as life. We need water for all our daily activities.
The available water resources should be used judiciously, so that we do not face water crisis in future. For this, it is necessary that everyone uses water mindfully, conserves water as well as spreads awareness about water conservation measures.
By saving more and more rainwater and taking various measures to save water, we can contribute in maintaining the ground water level and maintaining the availability of water continuously.
If you have adopted any innovative and unique ways of saving water, with which we can conserve more water, share it with your thoughts in the comment box below.

Is rain good for environment?
As rainfall, water is used by plants after it falls to the Earth. Plant roots absorb water, which travels up the column of the plant stem to the leaves. From there, the leaves absorb sunlight and use the process of photosynthesis to make sugar to feed the plants. All of this falls under a positive effect of rainfall.
