We can see that on the left side of the picture the crops have died as a result of the severe drought. In contrast, the right side shows a great quantity of water being wasted. I think that this picture illustrates two very different problems. The crops would have grown very well if they had been irrigated using the water that had been wasted. Water one of the most important natural resources. It is very precious. ,Water has a direct effect on the human body. A person can stay alive for at least seven days without food, but no longer than three days without water! Our country China is the biggest agricultural country in the world. Approximately 1.3 billion live on approximately 9.6 million square kilometers. There are about 0.9 billion farmers and much of the country is rural. It is very easy to understand how important water important is for Chinese people. Sadly, the phenomenon of water waste is very common in China. Many of the people born in the large prosperous cities here not only have no awareness of water conservation: they think that water comes from infinite sources. This is a very unfortunate misconception. Unfortunately, in most rural areas, the water supply is very iinadequate. With insufficient water, how can farmers live? How can they irrigate? This is an incredibly frutrating situation for farmers to be in. In short, saving water saves life. It is not only good behavior, but also a beautiful virtue.
