Thousands have already died in India because of the heat wave for temperatures reached over 50 degrees Celsius. Even though some rains have come already, the phenomenon called El Nino is still here and no one's sure how long it's gonna stay and it is still disrupting weather patterns around the world. The hotter sunshine and the rain come alternately in a single day with the sun in the morning till the afternoon and immediately followed by the rain before sunset causing some fever and respiratory ailments for some people with this kind of weather. But the rains are still no match with the El Nino that's why the problems lingers on: water shortage. The green grasses that used to be have turned brown making them uninviting to insects and inedible to animals. Livestock are suffering much from hunger, thirst and extreme heat and so many of those already died. Farmers are groaning the whole time for they can't grow crops and fruits abundantly due to lack of water. As a result, farm products are significantly reduced and affecting the lives of the whole population. What inevitably follows after a water crisis is the food shortage. The water reserves in reservoirs and dams no longer hold enough volume for irrigation and household consumption, and a lot of those supporting major cities already reached the critical level. The best and the most immediate remedy of the government is to ration it out. An ordinance that reduces water consumption on every household and other establishments should be enforced right away. But exclusive communities, expensive and luxurious villages totally paint a different picture. Lush gardens offer a feast for the senses, and green lawns cover the expanse of the properties. Resorts that include golf courses are still covered with green and well-sprinkled grasses. These places require huge amounts of water daily and they offer no clue of a major water crisis. That's why they are highly detestable and very unsightly nowadays when the rest of the population suffers for no rain and rationed water consumption. It's high time for these resorts and communities to do something extraordinary by limiting their water use and so conserving huge volumes in the end. There's must be a national law (if there's none) that's going to deal with a major crisis to safeguard the interest of the masses much more during water crisis. Water is the number 1 essential element in this world for the survival of every living thing. All must conserve water in every way possible.
