Water the Elixir of life
Water is an
indispensable part and elixir of life. It holds the key to food security, too.
World Water Day is held annually on March 22 to focus attention on the
importance of fresh water and advocate the sustainable management of water
resources. At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development, an international day to celebrate fresh water was recommended. The
united Nations General Assembly responded by designating March 22 ,1993 as the
first World water day from then onwards . world water day annually highlights a
specific aspect of fresh water . in addition to the UN member states, a number
of NGOs promoting clean water and sustainable aquatic habitats have used world
Day for water as an occasion to focus public attention on the critical water
issues of our era
The world water day
in 2012 is intended to draw the international attention on the relationships
between water and food security
How is water related
to food security? Today there are over 7 billion people to feed on the planet
and the number is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050 To be able to feed
everybody , we first need to secure water, in sufficient quantity and adequate
quality . We will also need to produce more food using less water, reduce food
wastage and losses, and move towards more sustainable diets.
Food security exists
when all people at all times have both physical and economic access to
sufficient , safe a and nutritious food that meets their dietary requirements
for an active and healthy life . People who have better access to water tend to
have better levels of nourishment. Lack of water can be a major cause of famine
and malnutrition, particularly in areas where people depend on local
agriculture for food and income in 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights affirmed the right or everyone to adequate food . it is inevitably
linked to the accessibility of the most precious natural resource, water . Hence it is the elixir of
life and therefore , the world water day to stress its importance for human survival.
Quote from the True Charm and power of Vedanta
It is possible that
some may not fully agree with this epigram. They would rather say: Science
without religion is blind and religion without science is lame. emphasizing the
fact that religion gives us vision, science gives us power. This point apart.
Einstein was clearly of the view that between science and religion there should
be strong reciprocal relationship and dependencies.
Science of course
cannot enunciate the goals and create in us a motivation for reaching them. But
in regard to means for reaching the goals which can be enunciated and motivated
only by religion cab directly or indirectly learn much from science.
This point is clearly
put by Bertrand Russel when he says.
…science can tell him
how certain ends might be reached. What it cannot tell him that he should
pursue one end rather than the other.
Science can make a
bulldozer. But it cannot train the emotions of the driver so that he will stop
it before a crawling baby and not run over it.
Religion on the other
hand cannot make a bulldozer but it can train the emotions of the driver so
that he will not roll it over the baby
To be sure, we
require bulldozers. We also want to be sure that bulldozers will not go about
crushing babies , temples, we require power and sanity to go hand in hand and
in the power of science-which is a blind power-sanity is not inherent:
therefore, it has to come from somewhere else. That “somewhere else” is nowhere
else but to religion.
IF HE EXIST
