Según el Programa de Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA, 2009)(1) el agua cubre el 70% de la superficie terrestre solo el 2,7% es agua dulce, de este 2,7% de agua potable, el 1,90% está en estado sólido en polos y glaciares, el 0,77% en aguas subterráneas no siempre adecuada para las necesidades humanas y solo el 0,03% en cursos de agua superficiales de fácil y optimo aprovechamiento.
Esta cantidad de agua no solo atiende el baño, aseo personal, limpieza y preparación de comida de 7.008.718.237(2) habitantes sino que también es materia prima de la producción de alimentos y cientos de productos y servicios que se comercializan.
Además de esta escasez en disponibilidad, el agua potable que se usa para la agricultura, industria, comercio y consumo domestico es contaminada diariamente con desechos, aceite, petróleo, gasolina, detergentes no biodegradables, fertilizantes, plaguicidas y algunos metales que inhabilitan el recurso de manera permanente.
¿Sabias que una persona consume en promedio 50 litros de agua al día por persona: 5 para beber, 20 para la higiene, 15 para asearse, 10 para cocinar?(3).
Además de esto, en la producción de muchos alimentos se consumen enormes cantidades del preciado líquido, estos son algunos ejemplos: Un kilo de carne de res requiere 15.497 litros, un huevo frito 3.340 litros, un kilo de arroz 3.000 litros, una hamburguesa: 2.400 litros, una taza de café 140 litros y un vaso de cerveza 75 litros (4).
Recuerda que es tu responsabilidad satisfacer tus necesidades sin comprometer las posibilidades de las generaciones futuras para atender sus propias necesidades. Tú haces la diferencia, conviértete en un guardián del planeta ahorrando agua.

Earth is the only known planet in this universe where life is possible only because of the availability of water and oxygen. Water is most important necessity of life for all the living beings on the earth. Without water no one can exist even for a day. We also know that there is very less percentage of clean water means drinking water available on the earth. So, we should not waste clean water and save it for future generations.

Nuclear energy has long been hailed as a promising solution to our energy needs, offering a relatively clean and efficient source of power. However, alongside its benefits come significant risks and hazards that cannot be ignored. From the potential for catastrophic accidents to the long-term environmental and health impacts of radioactive materials, nuclear hazards pose complex challenges that demand careful consideration. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the various aspects of nuclear hazards, from their origins and mechanisms to their effects and the strategies employed to mitigate them.
Understanding Nuclear Hazards:1.1. Nuclear Energy and Its Hazards:
- Nuclear energy harnesses the power of atomic reactions to generate electricity, primarily through nuclear fission.
- The hazards associated with nuclear energy arise from the radioactive materials produced during fission, which emit harmful ionizing radiation.
- Types of nuclear hazards include accidents, radiation exposure, radioactive contamination, and the long-term storage of radioactive waste.1.2. Sources of Nuclear Hazards:
- Nuclear power plants: Accidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima have demonstrated the potential for catastrophic failures in nuclear reactors.
- Nuclear weapons testing: The detonation of nuclear weapons releases large amounts of radioactive fallout into the environment.
- Radioactive waste: The disposal and storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive materials present ongoing hazards.
Impacts of Nuclear Hazards:2.1. Health Effects:
- Acute effects of radiation exposure include radiation sickness, burns, and organ damage.
- Chronic exposure to low levels of radiation increases the risk of cancer, genetic mutations, and other long-term health problems.
- Vulnerable populations, such as children and pregnant women, are particularly susceptible to the harmful effects of radiation.2.2. Environmental Consequences:
- Radioactive contamination can persist in the environment for thousands of years, affecting ecosystems and wildlife.
- Contaminated water sources, soil, and air can lead to bioaccumulation of radioactive isotopes in plants and animals, potentially entering the food chain.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. CONSERVATION
OF WATER
Is water really important? Is such a
simple liquid all that vital? Imagine
with me what it would be like to have a
day without water. What would you
drink? How would you clean yourself?
In what would you swim? You see,
water is very large part of our lives. In
fact, 57% to 75% of your body is made
out of it. But, did you know that 1.4
billion….
people don't have clean drinking water?
In a world of 6.8 billion people,
20.59% don't have clean drinking
water. Obviously water is a huge part
of our daily lives and without it you
cannot live.
How does using our water wisely
make a difference?
What each of us does in the world, how
you and I live our lives, does make a
difference. Water is a limited resource,
much of which is non renewable, that
has existed since the beginning of time.
Today, however, nearly 1.1 billion
people, mostly
in the developing world, remain
without access to safe water, while
more than double this number - about
2.4 billion - have no access to any form
of improved sanitation facilities. We
need to protect and preserve natural
sources of water. We start by becoming
aware of how our actions affect the
quality and quantity of water, at home
and throughout the world.
2. Did you know...?
• Only 1% of the total water
resources on earth are available for
human use. While 70% of the world's
surface is covered by water, 97.5% of
that is salt water. Of the remaining
2.5% that is freshwater, almost 68.7%
is frozen in ice caps and glaciers.
• Up to 30% of fresh water
supplies are lost due to leakage in
developed countries, and in some
major cities, losses can run as high as
40% to 70%.
• About 90% of sewage and 70%
of industrial wastes in developing
countries are discharged into water
courses without treatment, often
polluting the usable water supply.
What are some ways we can conserve
water?
Our supplies of clean, usable water are
limited, and we must learn to use them
more wisely. Water conservation
begins at home. You can do your share
by observing the following DOs and
DON'Ts in and around the house.
• Always turn taps off tightly so
they do not drip.
• Promptly repair any leaks in and
around your taps. (One leak can waste
several thousand liters of water per
year.)
• Use an aerator and/or a water
flow-reducer attachment on your tap
to reduce your water usage.
• When hand-washing dishes,
never run water continuously. Wash
dishes in a partially filled sink and
then rinse them using the spray
attachment on your tap.
• If you have an electric
dishwasher, use it only to wash full
loads, and use the shortest cycle
possible. Many dishwashers have a
conserver/water-miser cycle.
• When brushing your teeth, turn
the water off while you are actually
brushing instead of running it
continuously. Then use the tap again
for rinsing and use short bursts of
water for cleaning your brush. (This
saves about 80% of the water
normally used.)
• When washing or shaving,
partially fill the sink and use that
water rather than running the tap
continuously. (This saves about 60%
of the water normally used.) Use short
bursts of water to clean razors.
3. • Use either low-flow shower
heads or adjustable flow-reducer
devices on your shower heads. (They
reduce flow by at least 25 %.)
• You can reduce water usage by
40% to 50% by installing low-flush
toilets.
• Wash only full loads in your
washing machine.
• Use the shortest cycle possible
for washing clothes, and use the
"suds-saver" feature if your machine
has one.
• Use only cleaning products that
will not harm the environment when
they are washed away after use. Look
for "environmentally friendly"
products when shopping.
• Lawns and gardens require only
5 millimeters of water per day during
warm weather. Less is needed during
spring, fall, or cool weather.
• Water lawns every three to five
days, rather than for a short period
every day. In warm weather, apply 5
millimeters of water for each day
since the last watering.
• Water during the cool part of the
day, in the morning or evening. Do
not water on windy days.
• Do not over-water in anticipation
of a shortage. Soil cannot store extra
water.
• Use shut-off timers or on-off
timers, if possible. Do not turn on
sprinklers and leave for the day.
Therefore, we can help to conserve
the water and keep it clean and we
can make clean water accessible in
other nations by following above
steps.
