Water crisis is a becoming a big problem in the present world, as more and more people and nations are getting affected with it. However a question which comes in every ones minds is who the main victim behind all this is? The answer for this question could be simple as Man himself. In most of the cases main is the main reason behind all these problems.
The number of humans across the globe is increasing and number of the natural water resources are either decreasing or becoming diluted with waste and industry discharge. At many places, problem is not that we do not have the water but the problem is this water is not safe for drinking. The good news for the people is that still we have lot of water available with us but bad news is that large part of this water needs a major cleaning measures for making it fit for drinking.
Rains are one of the major water bringing sources on the earth but still no concrete methods are being developed by the people and nations to use this water wisely. Rains water go wasted in the drains and on the other hand, millions of people suffer from the droughts and water shortage. For about 80% of the water crisis are only man made things and it shows the inability on the side of the human to use and save water in proper way.
