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.

Hello friends,

I too want to say something about this topic.

Drinking water:- a first need of human-being to survive And, safe drinking water without which a man growth and development is not possible. So can it be called for a rural people or any individual water has main importance. Wherever coke and pepsi is a beverage used to enjoy ie. Used as side need for taste and change. In rural areas coke and pepsi shops are there but safe drinking water is not provided because government get high money as tax from per bottle of coke/pepsi sold.

Efficient transportation facilities are provided to manufacturers who distributes them in different-2 areas which is not in case of water. We all know that from infected water many diseases like cholera, jaundice, diarrohoea, etc. Has more chances to born ie. Too a main reason for increasing death rates in India. So, this is responsibility of government to firstly provide safe water to drink in rural areas instead of any other beverage. With healthy people unity our country's economy start developing at even with more faster rate.

Hello Everyone. ,

Water problem can be resolved if we truly understand the importance, water can be conserved in each and every house during Rainfall, its our responsibility to save water. We can't afford to blame others. One should must learn to keep his duty towards his country and towards himself. In rural as well as urban areas, the number of water reservoirs can be increased, people should not waste water unnecessarily as it is a precious commodity. Without water there is no life possible on earth, so if we are not preserving water then we are enemies for ourselves, I just wish people understand the importance of water. Change lies within ourselves, we have to realise our potential, after all, its our life, we all must learn how to make it problem free. Let the change begin.

Hi everybody, there is nice quote in hindi "jal hi jivan hai" means water is life and I agree with this quote. Without pepsi and coke a human can survive but without water not only human but no living beings can survive. The best example we can see always in news about the place where there is a scarcity of water there people fights for drinking water, they cover long distances to get water for drinking but we never heard such type of cases for pepsi and coke.

Hey guys what I believe is that water is a basic necessity for everyone in this world we can't use coke and Pepsi as alternative for water. We cannot use coke and Pepsi every day and night for drinking purposes moreover as we all know that Pepsi and coke contains some amount of caffeine which can harm us when taken in large quantities. Henceforth if we want then also we cannot change Pepsi and coke as an alternate for water.

Nowadays, both water and cold drinks are equally important for human beings but this doesn't mean that cold drinks can take the place of water - an essential substance for survival of human life on earth. Cold drinks just give taste but water can give life. Undoubtedly water is the necessity of every human being. We can take cold drinks but in less quantity as they are not good for health and moreover, avoiding cold drinks cannot harm us but without water we cannot live. So, we should take a pledge that we have to save water to save life.

Nothing is more agreeable than what the given statement signifies. Today, in the days of the so-called "globalisation" when attracting foreign investment irrespective of the area of investment is the key factor of the economy and polity, one need not feel surprised if more attention is paid by the authorities to "clear" the impediments on the way of investments in the soft drinks production, esp. In the case of the foreign brands"both coke and pepsi are foreign brand soft drinks. The media rouse the hype helping the investors by creating "investment-friendly" atmosphere and the general public realise the "importance" and "weight"of arguments backing such investments which are told and sold to be leading the economy and the society to a great height.

Wonderful! Only the fools cry against such grand schemes of things! But, eyebrows can be raised even in such a prosperous time if one of the long-standing and grave problem like shortage or insufficiency of pure drinking water in rural India remains unresolved. The necessity of provision of drinking water can hardly be over-emphasized and no elaboration is needed on this point. But the ever expanding soft drink market is now invading the rural India thanks to the ever-innovative marketing stratagems applied by the multinationals and the publicity created by the media of various sorts. And one may feel dejected to see that a problem as serious as that is related to the provision of drinking water to the masses is relegated to the background. All the protesting voices are stifled"in ingenious ways so that public opinions cannot get crystallised. The educated middle-class, the class who can really influence the decisions in the political spectrum, keep themselves in safe distance in cities and towns and the ordeals of the poor and depraved continue. And the situation turns graver like a snowball as the mighty corporations manage to get hold the sources of drinking water in the countryside- be the over-ground or under-ground with the connivance of the administration. So it is high time that the problem was properly attended so that a fundamental need of humanity which is a basic right of people cannot be denied in the "largest democracy of the world" for the of gratifying insatiable corporate greed for money through production of harmful and undesirable things which are capable to destroy the health of their consumers.

Hi, friends I am arghya das. From my points of view I agree with the fact that drinking water is very essential and especially in rural regions where persons are getting thirsty to get some water. So its more important to drink water. But the main problem in rural areas is that they do not have enough money to buy a bottle of water neither a pepsi or a coke. So there must be a rule in India specially where the party and politics are sucking the blood of many innocent people through there way of earning. So according to my views water is more important than those junk liquids. Thank you.

Hi everyone.

I like to say that water in rural areas has much more importance than coke or Pepsi. People in rural areas till today suffer in getting proper healthy water, they have to walk miles from their places in search of pure water that will be supplied from taps or tankers or even bore wells and wells. In such a case, there is definitely a need to pure water than any other cold drink.

Hi friends I'm vinitha ! yes of course water is more important than coke and pepsi. In todays life we need more water but we didn't get it soon. Water problem is the most problem in todays life. Coke and pepsi is good to drink. But water is more important when we compared with coke and pepsi. Coke and pepsi is just cool drinks and it is not good for health too. So according to me water is more important for human life.
