Natural resources are our main source of our needs and are fast dwindling. The natural climatic cycles have become erratic with global warming, with water, fuel etc. are reaching critical levels even where it is most unexpected.
With changing climatic patterns caused by global warming, it will become harder and harder to predict monsoon patterns. As a result, water availability across the world is expected to decrease even further.
To understand how much water we waste, try this at home: The next time you brush your teeth, leave the water running and place a large bowl under the tap as you brush your teeth. When you finish, use measuring cups to see how much water ran down the drain while you were brushing. Multiply that by the number of times a day you brush your teeth. Then multiply that by 365 for a year's worth of tooth brushing.
