Water is a precious gift of nature, and its conservation is everyone’s responsibility: CM Sai
Raipur, January 10
“Water is a precious gift of nature, bestowed upon us by God, but we must understand its value. Today, the entire world is grappling with a water crisis. Groundwater levels are rapidly declining in many cities around the world. If we don’t act now, the water crisis could become catastrophic. We all must conserve every drop of water. Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Water management is the need of the hour. We must pay special attention to water management, conservation, and the development of water resources for the better future of generations to come,” said Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai.
Sai was addressing the 57th annual session of the Indian Water Works Association.
Chief Minister Sai said that water conservation has become even more important in the context of the global climate crisis.
He said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has taken significant steps towards water and environmental conservation by launching initiatives like the Jal Jeevan Mission, Jal Shakti Abhiyan, Amrit Sarovar, Mission Amrit, and ‘One Tree for Mother’. Modi ji has launched the ‘Har Ghar Jal’ scheme to provide clean drinking water to every household. Our government has provided tap connections to provide clean drinking water in rural areas of Chhattisgarh, which has improved people’s health and brought about a positive change in the lives of rural people.
In the program, the Chief Minister released the souvenir of the Indian Water Association.
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Arun Sao, while addressing the program, said that engineers and water conservation experts from across the country will engage in in-depth discussions on water conservation and contribute to developing strategies for water conservation.
It is noteworthy that this session, hosted by the Indian Water Association, is being held in Raipur from January 10 to 12 with the theme of ‘Water-360 degrees’. The session is being attended by 400 water experts and experienced engineers from across the country. The session will discuss the inclusion of new technologies in water, wastewater treatment, and sustainable management.
