Today's news learned about the latest drought in five southwestern provinces, and nearly 20 million people have difficulty drinking water. Residents in luliang county, Qujing City, Yunnan Province, where the drought is severe, have begun to restrict water supply. The continuous drought makes the available water in luliang county less and less, which can only last until the end of April. Many areas in the southwest arid area are similar to this, and the water can only last for one month. Even Yunnan, which is rich in water resources, has begun to compete for water. It is conceivable that the days when dripping water is as expensive as oil in other water-deficient areas no longer seem out of reach. Today in Yunnan may be a portrayal of tomorrow in many places, and as a country with severe drought and water shortage, the drought in southwest China has given us a vivid water crisis education lesson. "The last drop of water on the earth will be human tears!" The drought in southwest China popularized a water crisis education for the whole people with scenes similar to public service advertisements.

Although the drought in the southwest is far away from us, it is also dry and rainy in the northwest, and most rural areas still live a life of "depending on the weather". Saving water is a cliche, but I find that people don't seem to realize the seriousness of water shortage, and the phenomenon of wasting water caused by bad habits in life can be seen everywhere. It is said that in Germany, parents often teach their children that if they use too much water in the bath, they are washing euros. However, in our country of "saving honor and wasting shame", the common life is: use more tons of water every month, or pay more water bills! Therefore, many people have been generous in using water, and how to use it is comfortable. According to related reports, Guangzhou citizens use 770 lakes a year. The average daily water consumption of each Guangzhou resident is 255 liters, which is equivalent to 14 barrel of purified water. I can't imagine, as a key water shortage city, how can Guangzhou people who are used to lavishing water adapt to the situation that Guangzhou is as short of water as southwest today?

There is a public service advertisement that I remember vividly. "What will happen to human beings without water?" The picture below shows: pieces of cracked land, groups of unkempt people, stretching out their withered arms to the sky, groaning in despair and expecting. "The last drop of water on the earth will be human tears!" Now it seems that this is not an alarmist. The southwest drought, with a scene similar to public service advertisements, popularized a national water crisis education, and also warned the people that water conservation needs to start from the dribs and drabs of life, but also from the management of water resources.

It is understood that only three-tenths of the water in the world is fresh water. Moreover, most of the fresh water is distributed in the Antarctic and the Arctic, and the water is frozen, so we can only drink a little water, but we can't save water and waste water resources like this. In this way, before long, mankind will perish, all the creatures in the world will be destroyed, and this beautiful earth will become ruins again. Even if there is water, it is human tears. I remember once going to the countryside to play, which happened to be a party. When I went to the township government to go to the toilet, I found a situation that I didn't understand. I washed my hands in the toilet, where the tap was broken and the clear tap water flowed out like a waterfall. I tried my best to stop it, but I couldn't stop it. I quickly called an uncle and wanted him to turn off the tap for me. But he casually said, "Don't worry, little friend, this is tap water, which can't be used up. It doesn't matter. It drops like this every day. " After listening to this sentence, my heart trembled: "Oh, my God! Although there are many mountains and rivers, there are times when they are exhausted. " After listening to this uncle's words, I immediately argued: "Water is limited, so we should save water." He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter …" I really didn't like his habit, so I had to bow my head silently and turn off the tap myself. Although the faucet is not completely turned off, it is much smaller than the water that was turned on before.

Now, when I say this, I just want to say, "We can't live without water. Once there is no water, there is no life. " In fact, saving water is not difficult. As long as people are called to action, everyone will save water and start from small things.
