'water conservation' is something everyone is talking about these days. Children are being taught about it in school and rain water harvesting is being incorporated in almost every house. My question is simple- do the water supply tankers in the city go unnoticed?
They move across the city 'supplying' water. I often get annoyed seeing the amount of water that leaks out of the vehicle. Water is always leaking- leaking not in drops but it just flows out, either from the sides or from the tap at the back of the tanker. It is not the problem with just a couple of tankers across the city, but it is a flaw in every tanker I have seen till date.It is also not just something that has been happeneing in the recent past, but this scenario has been around for over many years now.The worst of all, is the fact that no one has taken effective action against it.Is there no way of rectifying it? Is there no way to improve the condition of these tankers?
I would not blame the ignorance of the government alone, it is also because of 'us', poeple of this society who are insensitive to such facts.

A RESPONSIBLE ARTICLE.THE QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE RAISED IS TRULLY APPRECIABLE.ITS NOT ALWAYS THAT THE GOVERNMENT SHUD TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN WE AS INDIVIDUALS CAN DEFINITELY TAKE SOME INITIATIVE ON THIS ISSUE.
