We Need Drinking Water and Not Coke & Pepsi in Rural India

Well in my point view all my friends who have spoken about the water and comparison of this precious and only thing available in the universe with coke and Pepsi is little bit of the road. Earth is filled with around 71%of water but that is really not drinkable, around 98.7% of that water is saline water. In seas. So, around 2.34% of the rest water is lake, pond, iceberg and glaciers and water vapor.

For the rural people availability of the pure water is the huge problem, I mean they are struggling for one drop of water and what are we doing?we are just polluting our fresh resources of water, Ganges, yamuna. Man this is going to be very bad for us and our children, well coke and Pepsi are nowhere near the satisfaction of water. It gives you wow when you drink water. So, that's why you can not compare water with anything.

Well universe is full of water, it is just we have to go and search that for our survival. ''water is the grand creator and evolution of the life''. So think before you waste a single drop of water.

By looking at this topic first thing that come to my mind is that government promises a lot that we will bring technology advancements, new infrastructure, computers etc. To rural India. But just ask the rural people they simply don't want these things, they just want drinking water. People in rural part of India travel miles to get drinking water, and in most of the villages a tanker comes and people fight for their turn to get water as they are actually fighting for life. This situation is quite critical. So government first provide them the basic needs of life instead of keep promising them on the other things which is expressed in the topic as Pepsi, cola.

I would like to say that water is more important for human beings. Soft drinks is not important why because soft drinks are harmful for health. By drinking soft drinks at present it will very nice to drink. But in future it will harmful for health. So that I would like to give first preference to water rather than soft drinks.

As I am from rural area, I know the problem we are facing to get the pure drinking water, we are depending on bore well water which was not filtered, Unfiltered water may cause serious diseases like cancer, decay of teeth, undigested etc.

Coke & Pepsi is dependent on the consumer's behavior, as per my experience, drinking water is sold more than Pepsi & coke in rural area's. As the rural people's are very brilliants in using the money for the required things, they will not waste it unnecessarily.

The Payer of Income Tax, Service Tax, Road Tax in urban area's are more in urban area's & the official's like politician's, film actor's, businessmen, rich person's are lived in urban area's, hence, government concentrate more on urban area's and neglected rural area's. As the people of rural area are also human being's. Government should have to concentrate on rural area to provide the basic necessity of water, electricity, sewage facility etc.

Hello everyone!

The topic for today's discussion is "We need drinking water not pepsi and coke in rural India. " I would like to start the discussion by saying, "Water is life!". Life without water in unimaginable. Each and every minute task of our day to day life requires water in some or the other form. Hence water is a fundamental need of life.

Coming to the rural India, I find it quite amusing that even in a small hamlet in our country we could find a Cool Drink shop near the bus stand but we see women and children travelling long distances, in scorching heat, to get just a pot of drinking water. It has been found out that on an average, an Indian has to walk 3 km to get some drinking water. As always, averages conceal the reality of life.

So I would strongly suggest that we should collectively work towards procuring and making drinking water available to every nook and corner of our country.

Thank you.

Undoubtedly it is true that we need drinking water and not Coke, Pepsi kind of things not only to rural India but entire country. Apart from mere drinking water it should be safe as well.

Water is the most essential natural resource fulfilling all our needs from drinking, cooking, washing, etc. Availability of sufficient water is not only limited to all the things listed above, hydroelectricity is one of the major sources of electricity in our country. We can provide electricity to many rural houses if there is sufficient amount of water.

Coming back to the point, indeed Drinking water is far more important than Coke Pepsi. Coke Pepsi or any kind of soft drink is merely a drink one enjoys to party with or temporary relief from the scotching heat, even then one feels allay only after taking water. We can live without these soft drinks, but not a day without drinking water.

Hi friends.

Yes!I completely agree that pure drinking water should be given more importance than cokes an pepsi in rural areas. As water plays an vital role in environment as well as in human body, the total amount of water in a human body of average weight (70 kilograms) is approximately 40 litres, averaging 57 percent of his total body weight and about 70% of the earth surface is covered by water.

So we should definitely prefer more production of pure drinking water in rural areas than of coke and pepsi.

As we all know what wonders can water alone do as compared to the soft drinks, a simple example, for quenching our thirsty throat we all prefer water over soft drinks.

So I here by conclude by saying that pure drinking water should be given higher preference and should be available in rural markets in more quantity than the soft drinks.

THANK YOU!

Hello everyone.

When I heard this topic a question arises in my mind is.

That why this question arises in our mind?

And the answer is very simple that in rural India use of water is much fore than urban India as rural India is dependent on agriculture and water is require more there.

But now a days rural India is affected by MN C's as coke and Pepsi manufacturing plants are normally established in village. As it costs less land and, water and employees are easily available there.

And most important that when we are thirsty then we need pure water not soft drinks and as we all know there is less then2% water drinking water on earth that is very less. So we should save water and aware people about the value of it.

Soft drinks makes us unfit whereas pure water has some useful minerals in it that helps us living healthy.

1. Why is this even a question, far too obviously water is a necessity and not an option. Coke and Pepsi are NOT substitutes for water, they are just other drinks that can be taken once in a while. Drinking them like water will only degrade your health and considering the amount of caffeine and carbohydrates present in it, there is no point of getting into a habit of drinking an unhealthy drink.

2. People in rural India are already suffering from poverty, so why would they waste there money on drinking coke and Pepsi everyday and then spending more on visiting a doctor because of its after effects. A complete waste of money.

3. I would suggest drink coke and Pepsi once in a while and then use that bottle to fill water. There can be no life without water, and that's why we are looking for water on mars and not Coke/Pepsi!

Hello friends! I strongly agree with this topic. As we all know, life first originated in water. Water is very important and gifted resource. We know the importance of water and how much, it is useful and precious to us. The, when we come across rural areas, people, they are not so educated or do not have much knowledge regarding importance of water.

They carry their domestic work and all other works with water, but awareness is not among the people how we can save water, why is there need to save water and most important, water is better than soft drinks. If you drink 100 glasses of water, it will make you healthy, but drinking cold drinks will have bad effects on health. We must be meticulous about our health. One more thing, Never do those things which will harm you, do that things which will never harm you.

Hello friends, I am Nandhini here.

I have read the information given by my friends and my elders. They are almost right but I too have some ideas.

Dear friends we all know that approximately 75% of our world is filled with water. But only certain amount of water is drinkable this is because of the water pollution that are made by ourselves.

The control of water pollution is in our hands, there no use of blaming the government and others.

So we should co operate with them. The peoples in town should encourage the rural communities about importance of water and how to co operate with the government in controlling the pollution.

If the water necessity is maintained there is won't be the use of soft drinks, and it will become a entertainment.

Thank you friends.

This is the matter that knocked my mind.
