1. For progress of a rural area and less pressure on cities we do need companies in rural areas too. For the employment growth.
2. Its not the job of private company to provide free water supplies that's government job,.
3. Coco cola kind companies not only manufacture cool drinks. It will attract the other big players of industry to set up their companies in rural areas. |

Hello friends,
Primarily everyone needs drinking water instead of Pepsi & cock. These soft drink are harmful for health, In India where many rural and urban area have scarcity of clean and pure water are compel to purchasing of costlier packed water. So Government are required to take a strong step for clean water than encourage the soft drink. |

| According to my perception water is a basic need to human beings to survive on earth rather than soft drinks. Soft drinks is just for enjoy purpose for a few seconds. Here the important is soft drinks is harm full to our health. Here the water is a natural thing, it is gift of god to the human being. Soft drinks are the man made things. So I strongly say that natural thing is better than artificial. Here the main thing is without the water the people can not live on earth. So every body need water. |

Hi friends,
India is a country where the ratio of people living in rural areas is much higher than the people living in the urban areas. Villages and its people are the heart of our country and we cannot risk their lives just for the mere profit that the companies like coca-cola or pepsi India tries to make, many villagers who are still uneducated, prefer "believe what you see", but major steps should be taken in promoting "WATER IS LIFE", "DRINKING CLEAN AND SAFE WATER". It is one of the important cleansing and functioning essential for our body. This can be done only when government and we educated ones take major steps towards the upliftment of the most precious knowledge that drinking pure and safe water makes one survive longer rather than preferring carbonated drinks that only adds to the taste buds.
Also providing clean drinking water should be at the reasonable cost, and not to make the fool out of the poor villagers. Every one's life is precious and the right to consume one that is good for our health and say "NO" to that which is hazardous.
THANKS. |

| No liquid can quench thirst except water. All carbonated drinks are harmful for health. Imagine how much CO2 is released when you open or drink those and sum it with whole world. Its manufacturing is high energy consuming one means burning of more fossil fuels. Instead of researching new flavors for drinks, one should research how pure water can be procured, rain water harvesting, water purification and availability of water in every place. |

Water the basic but most important necessity of life. So, government should provide with at-least with drinking water facilities to each human living in any corner of the country.
As rainwater is the purest form of water it should be conserved and should be made fit to drink through filtration process, the villagers should be taught how to make water pure and bacteria free.
Introduction of water purifying technology at an affordable cost for the poor people will prove effective,
Thank you. |

| Water is the most basic element for living beings human can live up to 30 days by drinking water only, without any food. I agreed with them because Coke and Pepsi is the not primary requirement than water. Water apart from drinking, is used for cleaning, bathing, sanitation, generating electricity and in future, cars can also run using water as fuel! coke and all companies are foreign companies who have set up good place for themselves in our country. In rural area they don't have purified water for drinking. Our government make a necessary step in our five year planning to sort out this common problem in rural area. |

| Water is very important as a human being. Primary needs like clothes, shelter, protection, food and water are necessary. Mainly water is very essential for function all parts in our human body. Impure water causes many diseases. And reduce the resistant power. Due to bacteria is settled in our body and proper blood flow is very important for healthy human being. Some areas like nalgonda and in some other peoples struggled with fluorine contaminated water so government takes a major roll for supplying pure water to rural areas because. They don't have that much of economic affordability so please save the health of people from all these problems. |

I think WATER is a part of our life, without water we can not survive. But by blaming the soft drinks companies we can't get rid of problem like contaminated drinking water, wastage of water. Because of our mistakes we are forcing ourselves to pay a high price for drinking water and making ourselves depending on soft drinks. Villagers who have the money always try to buy cold drinks instead of pure drinking water because they are not aware about the problem created by cold drinks. So to improve the drinking water condition in villages we should make them understand how much water is important for our life so SAVE WATER.
Thanking you. |

I agree with this topic drinking water is the most essential thing in our life. Unfortunately Indian government forgot this point and they are encouraging the pepsi &coke. Those are harmful to us.
In my point of view pepsi and coke should be banned, why I want to say these lines one farmer used these soft drinks to cultivate the land. Government should take the initiative and provide the water facilities in rural areas. |

| I too agree with your point that what we essentially need is drinking water and not pepsi or coca-cola. In so many states in India we are seeing thgat people are not having water to drink and within a week we will be hardly getting 2 times water for our daily usage purpose. And speaking about drinking water still we are relying on water cans which we purchase outside. As middle class people and higher class people can afforde to buy, but lower class people are not able to buy and they will be drinking the water which is supplied to them by water tankers once in a week. So our govt should find out measures to provide basic essential amenities for the people living in rural areas and one day in near future our people will be fighting for water. |

Hello friends,
Recently I read somewhere that two-third of the Indian households do not have proper sanitation, but more then half have phones, and majority of them have mobile phones. Moreover only 40% of the population has acess to pure drinking water. Now this is really a concerning issue.
The topis is a sattire on our Indian politics and villages which says that instesd of promising us a lavish life, please provide us the basic facilities first. Coke, pepsi, cell phones, dish antennas these are secondary, what we first need is pure drinking water, 2 meals per day, shelter and clothes to wear. It should be noted by our diplomats and bureaucrats that showing lavish lifestyle in Indian villages, does not mean "INDIA SHINING". But instead India will shine when each and everyone will have acess to the basic facilities in life. |

In so many rural area people fetch their water in some other places. I would request to the government the broadcasting of beverages advertisements to use that money to the rural area drinking water. Unfortunately people spend money to buy drinking water. It is shame. Take Necessary action to the government to provide purified water in rural areas. |

| Hi, I am sumitava, I too think that we badly need to solve the problem of drinking water in the rural areas of India. Nowadays its ridiculous to see that in some parts of India people have to walk miles to fetch water, but there are so much publicity of cokes and pepsi. Govt. should look at the improper supply of water in some areas rather than showing more than enough interest to coke companies. Of course these are needed for the economic prosperity of our country, but it should also be kept in mind that there is no substitute for drinking water. Yes, I do agree with the point that it is unfortunate that packaged drinking water comes at 15 to 20 rupees per bottle. these should be made available to the people at much lower rates. And also do i think that the govt. should not only make promises of setting up proper drinking water facilities in especially the villages, but also keep up to their promises rather than encouraging more and more coke companies to set up their market. The most ridiculous part is that in some outlets cokes are available but packaged drinking water is not. Such is the market of the most essential thing we need to sustain our life as compared to the market of cokes and various soft drinks. |

Cola cola everywhere not a penny to buy. This is the condition of the rural areas of India.
What a shame! People are dying for a drop of water but here the Govt is marketing pepsi and colas at it's zenith. How can the pepsico ceo annonuce about the 200 cr profit in the near future while pepole in the rural zones are craving for water. I would request the Govt to come up with a plan of introducing packaged drinking water(ONE IMPORTANT THING TO BE REMEMBERED- I DONT MEAN TO LAUNCH 1 LITRE OF BOTTLE OF WATER AT RS.15 OR RS.18) at the minimum cost like Rs 2 or Rs 3.
Look the reason is obvious. in a country like africa,people gets only 1 litre of water to maintain his whole day starting from drinking to bathing. can you believe it? but they have a reason. the water supply is scarce.
can anyone say what is the problem with our country regarding this water supply.I would request the admin of this site as well as the common people and i am pretty sure that a overwhelming response will be generated as a whole. |

India is moving towards modernisation and it is also necessary for a countries development. India is a developing country and is lagging behind in lots of field. Unemployment, poverty, overpopulation are hindrance in the growth of India. On Human development index our rank is 134.
One third of our population is BPL. What this population want is simple food and water no coke or burger. They want employment, shelter, health facility. So government's main focus should be on providing basic facilities. |

Hello,
I Prefer drinking water than soft drinks.Firstly,these are not fruitful in any sense for our health.Secondly,even in this 21st century most of our villages are not receiving pure water supply.Thirdly,if we give up taking these soft drinks and prefer water then these MNC's that produces harmful drinks will be forced to quit India not completly but to a great extent.Finally,its on our hands to make this come true just by coming forward to make this change and government too should cooperate......Thank you

I do agree that water is much more important for the survival of a human rather than those soft driks like pepsi, coca cola etc.
But the fact is that the goverment is really interested in gaining the profits from such companies and not even bothering whether the people are getting satisfied or not. Most of the people that the tap water is polluted and they can't drink it. So most of them are preffering Aquafina, Kinley etc, . Which are the major sources of pollutants and what these companis do is that they just add chemicals to the drinking water and sell it at profitable prices. What if the same water is provided to the rural areas the government will benefit more as villages the roots of India. So its upto us to make the people aware of the hazards created by such companies and the importance of drinking normal water. |

In my point of view water is the only resourse or whose.
Properties are different from other fluids, with out water we cannot even manufacture pepsi/coke, we may live without food for 1 week but without water we could not stay for a day so the government of India must have the capability to provide water for its people. |

| Dear friends, here the topic itself speak about the basic amenity in villages, there people don't need pepsi and coke but pure and safe water, so the need of the hour os to provide clean and safe drinking water must be provided to the villages because they are constantly paying the price for dirty water in terms many water born diseases including respiratory, diarhoea etc, so the government should wake up now and provide proper water facility to the villages for example govt. Should provide hand pumps at distant places where water is not easily available, govt. Should also invest in some innovative ideas like making cheap and good water purifier and it should be made easily available to the villagers. |

Hello everyone,
I happily agree that soft drinks are necessary as they are good alternatives for the guests arriving at home also for the children it is delight but we are talking about a different india, RURAL India, where many families struggle to gather ample amount of water leave apart pepsi and coke. The main reason for this is the lack of infrasructure required for providing water to such places as well as the pipelines that are made are only on papers. Work has to be judicially done because peole consiume stagnant water which is unhealthy and this will not give a healthy future for the country. Secondy water resources should be nationalised and proper channels and pipelines and other alternatives shoul be quickly undertaken so as to overcome this problem, than and than only it is better to enjoy a coke or pepsi. |

And I really appriciate the fact that people in villages definately need pure water, safe food, proper transport instead of having pizza hut or mcdonald. In India fulfilling their basic needs by our politicians is more important than anything else for now. |

| Can we breathe nitrogen instead of oxygen and live ?? Ofcourse NO. So how can water be replaced by coke or pepsi ? I beleive we have to get rid off of harmful stuff rather than encouraging it for ourselves and our country. It is a universal truth, which is ofcoarse known to evryone, that soft drink like coke or pepsi is really not a healthy drink. It is not some apple or mango juice that is going to provide us with vitamins and calcium. Infact a deadly composition of chemicals which acts as slow poison and detorates the health if consumed in large quantities. Now if our rural areas, thankfully, are not under its cover, why do we want them to get into ? There is really no scarcity of water in our nation, but ofcoarse sacarcity of clean drinking water. Our government is welcoming these plants in the country for the monetary benifits and that is fine but it would have been really great if our government would have thought of human benifits also. They should open plants to clean the water and make it suitable for drinking for the rural people. |

Because total income of the country comes aggreculture field. Seventy percent population of country lives in villages. At last I want to say that govt.

The basic need for every one is water rather than coke or pepsi.There is scarcity of water in rural areas due to destruction of trees ,wastage of natural resourses etc..water is essential for every one as we use it for drinking,washing,bathing,cleaning etc..
In urban or rural areas coke & pepsi are available at shops,but we are not getting water.so, many people are suffering from scarcity of water as they are travelling far for drinking water.
Recently in news we heard about a child death.The reason behind it was her mother went for bringing water.As there is no source of water in their place.so,providing water for the rural is essential and important compared with coke or pepsi.

| In INDIA, as it is a agricultural country - Many of the Soft drink companies are located in the areas nearer to the rivers or the where the ground water resource are more. So who says that drinking water is scarce in India. In urban areas the Water bubble business has become a superb and profitable business. Now a days the rotary club and NRI of those villages are donating the funds for the building and for machinery of the Pure and Safe drinking water in rural areas and also the placing of the soft drinks factory in the rural areas will provide employment for the people around that areas. |

Hai all.
I agree that the water is not equals to Pepsi/coke. We all know that water is so precious to everyone ecspecially for rural people. If we compare pepsi/coke with water, there is no point in saying that the pepsi is good. Bue even though people prefer soft drinks, I think it is because of foreign countries effect, and everyone should come to know that that drinks are dangerous to health, they are made up of chemicals, it is not going to do good to our health rather than making harm. So supplying water is a good thing rather selling drinks. For the fun or some timepass it is okay to drink pepsi/drinks, but it is not right all the time, so avoid drinking pepsi/coke prefer water. , and it makes the difference. |

Well I prefer drinking water rather than coke\pepsi because according to my view drinking water is 100times better than drinking soft drinks. We can drink soft drinks at some moments but we cannot do that daily it's not good for our health too. Drinking coke\pepsi may harm our health because they are made up of some chemicals, but one thing I am not strong in saying that water is 100% pure it also may contain same bacteria but still we can pure it with filter but this is not same with the softdrinks we blindly drink it as it is. So try to avoid drinking softdrinks in order to make your self healthy. |

Hi friends.
According to my point of view drinking water is better than drinking cokes because there is scarcity for drinking water in some areas there ground water tables are decreasing rapidly so that we can't find water in well or bores in future in this situation I think we have to avoid drinking coke in facet it harmful to our health too. So I think we have to give first preference to drink water than coke. |

I strictly tell that Pepsi and coke should be banned. Instead of supplying all these try to supply purified water for the people who are starving to drink a drop of water.
We don get any benefit after drinking Pepsi or coke rather than drinking water. For eg: After working for long time especially the worker in an industry, they are in need of water not any soft drinks, for occasions than giving these soft drinks try providing more water. There are lots of benefits when you drink water, but where as when you a soft drink it just harms your health.
So friends we have to take of ourself, so trying drinking more and more water, and also where ever you in this world try carrying water than any soft drinks. |

I would strongly say that we need drinking water than PEPSI\COKE.
Our country is a peculiar country where we started sending rockets, missiles before there where even 10,000 cars on the road. We try to build highest building, where 1,00,000 are homeless.
The same goes to intake topic. We don't have shops without Pepsi/coke in rural areas, whereas use pond water to drink. We would have seen Pepsi lorries traveling to the rural, but have you ever seen lorries carrying branded packed drinking water. |

| I've not read all points of my friends. As a situation has already come that water has to sell in bottles and packets, so its difficult for a poor person to have it. In this situation we are demanding Coke, Pepsi like these products, which are also considered as artificial drink and also not healthy for our health and at the same time the main content of these soft drinks is water. So, where its very difficult to get sufficient amount of water in India, at the same time we are using water in various ways whose use can be ignored if we want. So in my view, we need drinking water rather than Coke & Pepsi. |

| The rural people don't even think about pepsi/coke.Although the source of these soft drinks is water they will always go for water.Because all are getting daily wages approx. Rs.100-150.If they buy 1L of these type of drinks,then 1/3rd of their daily salary will be wasted for just to overcome their thirsty feeling.So the rural damn sure need water...water...water |

| I partially agree with this point . Yes , it is important that water should be available at rural arears and get priority over soft drinks , but banning soft drinks in rural areas is not a good choice because even the people out there need to taste the life which people live in urban areas . There is one important step that the goverment can take , if pepsi or coke are planning to set up places in rural areas then the goverment should grant them a license only on a condition that they produce and sell equal amount of soft drinks and water . In that case even water will be available along with soft drinks . |

| Dear frends there is a deeper meaning in this topic. There are soo many problems that the people in rural India are facing in the current scenario. Even the basic requirements like food, clothing and shelter are not fulfilled. Poor education system, lack of infrastructure, traditional agricultural practices, bonded labour system, etc, are some of the serious situations that the rural people are facing. Therefore the government must address to these basic necessities and bring a proper solution to them. And of course there is a real scarcity of water in India and it is high time we become conscious about the consumption of water and ensure proper water saving systems. It is the duty of every single person to save water and stop blaming others. |

The commercial world is trying to make a profit by setting up expensive cold-drink centers instead of making available potable water to people.

By drinking Coke or Pepsi we can survive today but what about tomorrow no one is bothering about it and how it is spoiling the health. Not only that we have no right to blame the companies of coke and pepsi since we are buying them more there are suppling more. Government should take serious step to increase the supply of water and also educate people not waste water. |

| If there arise a question of choice whether to choose water or soft drink rural people would obviously prefer water. Because that is what their taste is, that is what gives them a sense of satisfaction. And other than water it is lime juice; what they call it as sherbath they would prefer if at all they want a refreshment for their throat. So pepsi-coke in rural India, would just be loss making one and if it speaks about lemon flavored ones like limca and all, actually they don't need them at all as they have fresh lemons at their homes. Its for the urban people where we would like to taste something different always and to severe to guests on occasions people need them. So instead of providing Pepsi-coke its better to provide rural people with safe drinking water. Thats all. Thank you. |

But we should understand one thing that, abolishing coke and Pepsi companies will not put an end to the water problem in India. The government and the people are responsible for this scarcity, where we had fail to conserve water for our future generation and now we are witnessing this problem. And this has to do nothing with coke or pepsi they are just additional beverages which gives temporary pleasure to humans. And having coke once in a while will never bring any harm, provided human knows to control his limits. |

I am not agree with saying that coke and pepsi is not needed.It is true that water is must for everyone.But u go in rural area with water and pepsi ask then to choose any one, i am sure they will go for pepsi. I am not saying that they dont want water they also want to drink pepsi and coke,But they are unable to drink only because they don't have enough money to buy that. So i dont think that we should compare water and pepsi.Both are equally important based on needs. But for rural people water is more important than pepsi. |

Hi everybody. Water is the source of life. Without water we can't live. For living water is necessary. Now a days many factories of pepsi, coke are available are in India. We can't compare pepsi or coke with drinking water. It is not affect the pepsi or coke the person is from rural area or city. One thing is that every body want water. Our body contain 78% water.
And we need to drink water daily 7-8 litre. If we will drink more water it is good for our health. Pepsi and coke are very hazrdous. They affect our body. It is mixture of soda and many waste things. So we should keep away from the coke and pepsi. |

If the government will try to set an objective to provide drinking water facilities to all the citizens and strictly put its sincere efforts to achieve such an objective then there will be no problem of this water scarcity problem in rural India. |

Hi everybody. This topic is very interesting and also effectively concentrate by every human being living in the world. WATER is an essential for all living things. Without water nobody can live in earth & there is lot of water scarcity in rural areas due to lack of rain. The lack of rain is due to mainly deforestation and sand robbers.
At this scenario the Pepsi and coke companies have place their plant in all over India. That soft drinks are very injuries to human health. But everyone know that and buy that soft drinks again and again. The people only boost up that companies for their development and our problem. So we can't able to blame that companies. This is my opinion about this topic. |

| Water is the basic necessity for life on earth. Till date inspite of latest technologies and hardship, we are still not able to expect life on other planet just due to unavailability of water there. And when we have plenty of it here, then we go on wasting it without understanding its importance. Its true that many places in our country are just devoid of water even for their basic needs of everyday life. And the situation becomes worst in the months of summer. But for this the Pepsi and coke companies should not be blamed? The companies put these plants for the sake of their business and vested interest. They should not be blamed for this. Two people are to be blamed for this. First are we the people who consumes these products just for the sake of our taste and then comes the government who permits these companies to set their plants in our country just for fulfilling their petty interests. After all these products contains chemicals which if can't do any harm then even they are not good to our health. If we do not buy these products then of course there is no chance of these companies setting their plants in our country. After-all no man runs his business where he can't achieve more than what he invested. So neither the companies nor the government to be blamed for this. Being a citizen of India we alone are responsible for this. |

They are working and get the money they are buying food itmes only.
In towns every place is covered pepsi and coke. And peoples buying water also. In towns persons are get the salaries properly. They cost any one. In villages pepsi and coke amenties are rare. So government useing adds and how the. Important control the waste of the water. Companies are useing adds about the coke and pepsi only. |

We must take concreate steps to make sure pure drinkng water is made available everwhere in country esp rural areas... as far as coke n pepsi is considered, i am not concerned much if made or not made available in rural areas, it hardly matter for me or for people of rural areas as compared to pure drinking water..

| Water (H20) is a universal solvent able to dissolve almost all substances in it. Every organism on this earth has major proportion of its body filled with water. On an average 70 % of part of body is filled with water to help an organism to sustain its life on earth. The essence of water cannot be replaced by Coke & Pepsi. More over safe drinking water is out of reach for many people in our country. Government should take concrete steps to provide pure drinking water to the citizens. Rajiv Gandhi payee gal mission should be enforce and targets should be set. Sarpanj and Block development Officer should meet with villagers to implement the mission, so that every household can get pure drinking water and people could be saved from water borne diseases like cholera etc. |

In today's lifestyle we see that many people are dying due to thirst. Water is the basic need of any individual. But in rural areas there is no supply of water or scarcity of water. But there are shops of coke, pepsi n differnt soft drinks which are harmful to our body. If there were no shops of soft drinks but have sufficient supply of water then its very good.

As My point of view eater is the essential thing to live on planet. Water is the only thing by people can survive on the planet not by the pepsi or some other cold drinks. So iI would like to say that In most of the villages there is the shortage og pure water and there are so many villages in India where today itself after 64 years of Freedom Government couldn't supply the water.
First need of people is water not any cold drink.
So I conclude the topic by saying that the Government has to take some initiatative to supply the pure water in the Villages or introduce some resources that villagers can drink pure water. |

Now a days irony of the situation in our country is that in our rural areas proper sanitary, clean drinking water is not there, but because of aggressive marketing the products of the soft drinks major have reached these places. Any small shop in remotest of the rural area will have these companies products. While people have to tread miles for bringing clean water, pepsi, cola will be within their easy reach. What will be the choice they tend to make? They will obviously buy cola, pepsi to satitiate their dry throat. While on the one hand water is very good for our body and helps cure many disease, excessive drinking of cola items will slowly make some undesirable impact on our body.
CSE have many times proved that it contains unwanted materials like pesticides in low percentage. But government is reluctant to hear. It's only the failure of government that drought like conditions still exist in our villages. In some villages people wash, bath and drink water of same pond. Is it not necessary that government Should promote water purifying companies to set up at these places and provide clean drinking water. There operations can be made profitable by the government or steps like if any industry is set up in areas starved of clean drinking water then they should be made mandatory as part of corporate social responsibility to purify water and supply clean water to villages. They should get rebate on some taxes because of this.
If the government Becomes proactive and ensure rural areas to get clean water their obvious choice will not be cola, pepsi but water. Then there body will be prevented from harmful chemicals these so called soft drinks had to offer. |

Yes of course water have been an important issue in India, an so many villages there still is a problem of fresh drinking water an people still have to starve for that, where people in village are not even able to have drinkable water soft drink co. Are opening their plants in villages. An these plants will need water to produce soft drink when people are not able to get that, and will throw chemical in to the river. So it is not at all worthfull.
Moreover softdrinks are too harmful to our body that we all know.
1) you put a T-bone in pepsi n it will disappear in 2 days.
2) it contain phosphoric acid which can desolve nail in 4 days.
So it is clear that there is no need of these kind of poison not even in villages but in the country too. |

| I too agree water is inevitable source for living, water is most important to human life without water no one can survival in the world. Coke and pepsi is not good for health. The political peoples are supporting for this companies the government should band these company. The most of pepsi and coke are not vat for purifying water and also they searing rural areas in order to start the company. The rural area peoples are not getting water for drink but these peoples are wasting the water. |

| Water is the most vital part in our life. So everyone needs water for drinking & other purposes. But unfortunately the companies have set up their plants in rural areas where their is no water for drinking or if the water is there its impure. So, companies should provide clean water or setup plants that can pure the water on large basis. |

Water is an inevitable source of living. One cannot survive without water, there is no comparison between water and coke. Water apart from drinking, is used for cleaning, bathing, sanitation, generating electricity and in future, cars can also run using water as fuel! coke and all companies are foreign companies who have set up good place for themselves in our country. In rural India, instead of opening cold drink plants, hand pumps, water sources, clean water filters should be opened, to have good agriculture, people can drink clean water also, on the other hand, coke apart from being expensive, is harmful also, as it is a sweet acid. Therefore instead of promoting cokes in rural India. These companies just want to make profit nothing else.
No comparison between water and this cold drink! |

The year's theme for World Water Day is Water For Cities. More people are moving to urban areas, the majority of this migration taking place in the developing world. This is in part due to expansion of corporate landgrabs, deforestation, overpopulation and effects of biodistress that push people into urban areas looking for a way to survive as agriculture which is the main way of life is impacted greatly.
Three quarters of our population is predicted to be living in cities by 2050 which will put a tremendous strain on infrastructure, water quality, water access and sanitation, which then leads to an increase in waterborne diseases.
Access to clean water is the moral challenge of our time and our right. So please, tomorrow take time to reflect upon the importance of clean water, water access and sanitation for those in our world lacking it. We take so much for granted here in America regarding water and the ability to have sanitation that leads to better health.
This site lists events globally and I will be posting about events in this thread as well as listing organizations working to provide clean water and sanitation and how you can help, as well as other entries about the importance of this most beautiful life giving resource.
Please feel free also to add poems, videos, comments, etc. about water here and make a pledge that for this and the next generation we will work to see all with clean water that revives our bodies and souls. This is one way that can lead people out of poverty and into a world of health and peace.
Thank you |

"There is a water there is life". As we all know water is a necessary thing for our life. In water there are many minerals. These minerals is very useful for our body. In every field water is used like every industry, in agriculture, in daily work.
Not only ruler area of India but also whole world drinking water is necessary. Any person without water is not alive but without coke & Pepsi people is alive. In ruler area people depend on agriculture. In agriculture we required lot of water but there is no need of cold drinks. In cold drinks there are many pesticide is used. These pesticide is very harmful for human body. In India there is little drinking water. Cold drinks plants waste more drinking water. In if same condition is persist in upcoming years there is less drinking water. So I am already say not only ruler area but also whole over the world drinking water is very necessary for our life but cold drinks is not necessary. In my opinion drinking water is necessary and not coke and Pepsi in ruler area. |

| India's 70% people lives in village and their livelihood depends on agriculture. according to my views indian Village need water instead of coke and pepsi, so government should not give them permission because these plants need huge amount of water and it put affect to agriculture and on other side these plant provide employment to villagers but most of them are not too much educated so the work their just as a labour it will make condition more worse. |

| In my view point its very important. So Water is most important in our lives. But in political drams the government passes the some permissions to the companies for their profits Due to this the fields in villages are become as their plants. So as a villager I would request to the government don't give the permission to the companies in rural areas for establishing their plants. |
