Description | Life on earth depends upon water. Without it no life form can exist. Water is the elixir of life. Around 71% of earth’s surface is covered with water. Out of the total water available to us on the earth, nearly 97.5 percent is saline water. Remaining 2.5 percent is freshwater. More than 70% of this freshwater is located in polar ice caps & as soil moisture, making it directly inaccessible for human use. It means that amount of freshwater in the globe which is only 0.003% is available to sustain human & animal life activities & all ecosystems. This small amount of water found in lakes, rivers, reservoirs,, shallow ground water sources gets continuously renewed through nature’s water cycle. Use of water has been growing at a fast pace and it is continuously to shoot at an alarming speed in many regions of the world. Whereas most of freshwater flowing in the river basins is decreasing and in near future no water would be available for human use. Growing population and speedy urbanization is putting pressure on freshwater resources and distribution of usable freshwater. It is our responsibility to address the problem of increasing pollution of water resources. Adoption of appropriate agriculture practices & cautious use of water resources with understanding of nature’s water cycle will help to maintain the water balance. The global warming also affects our water resources and water demands. To gain full benefits of clean water and sanitation we need to emphasize upon the people, the link between diseases and unsafe hygiene practices. This video attempts to convey the water scenario of the region, understanding the water cycle, human responsibility to maintain the freshwater resources and simple tips about cleanliness to lead a better and healthier life. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
