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

To live our life water is one of the most common thing. Without food we can live for some days but without water imagine at least a day, it is not possible. So that drinking water is more necessary than pepsi and coke to live our life. Imagine a world without water.

Hello friends.

I think there is no need of purified drinking water in rural India but it became a major concern for urban area's today. Water that is used in rural areas for drinking purpose are well released from ground through hand pump and bore well. As we know ground water are pure and safe for drinking purpose even availability of ground water is enough in rural India.

As we know the definition of rural India, free from the rush of traffic, wastage of industries. So that there is no heavy pollution of ground soil, air and water so the water uses by rural people having no any contamination of harmful element like arsenic, lead etc.

But in reverse urban area's people are getting the problem of purified water unavailability. And for urban supply there is need of purified water for drinking purpose and the result is that treated water bottles are sold today in different urban places and we are buying water today it's a business just like coke and Pepsi companies are doing in India and I think there should be no any objection for them because one side we are talking about MAKE IN INDIA also.

Coke and Pepsi type beverages became the part of our life today we are enjoying these at different occasion may be in party, marriage and in summer season for internal satisfaction. (smoking is injurious to health but people are taking).

If they are trying to enhance their business and replacing the drinking beverages of our country than we should avoid them.

I agree with the topic that we need drinking water more than anything else like mentioned above pepsi, coke in rural India.

As we know we can't imagine our life without water because it is our basic need, so we have to improve our system to make aware all people about the importance of it, I am not saying that soft drinks are bad but this is only the demand of people. But the main topic is the availability of drinking water, drinking water should be provided to everyone anyhow by every means, so we should not blame only government for this because we are equally responsible for the same.

Dear friends as we all know that water is one of the basic need for living being. Thus this is the serious issue on water. In rural area people travel long distances for drinking water. Many people in rural ares lost their life by drinking impure water. In rural areas most of the people are illiterate. Firstly they must be aware of diseases caused by drinking impure water.

Govt must arrange welfare camps and give knowledge to the people of the rural area. Impure water causes many diseases which ultimately harms the human being. In rural areas there must be some water treatment plant. Govt should take some steps and think of the methods how to provide drinking water to the rural areas.

HELLO, I would also love to contribute my views in this wonderful and important discussion. As we all know water is essential for life we cannot compare water with cold drinks. We can live with out cold drinks but without water life is not possible so whether it is a city or a small hamlet we cannot have any substitute of water.

Cold drink also have many side effects on our body it effects our teeth, respiratory system and bones.

According to me, coke and pepsi can be obtained from water but water cannot be obtained obtained from coke & pepsi!

But, its a bitter truth that the villages are now getting water scarce due to deterioration & occupying of land by growing human population. Rural areas people should be encouraged by the government so that they conserve & maintain the natural beauties of rural areas and the purity of the rivers must be maintained so that the basic source of energy of a human being (as seventy percent of a human's body consists of water & not coke or pepsi!) shall remain conserved for us as well as for our future generations.

Everyone knew what is the key value of water. You can drink coke in place of water, but it quenches your thirst only for some time but if you drink water you don't feel thirsty for 5 to 6 hrs normally. Even to make soft drinks or another kind of drink you need water. So I would suggest the industries to focus on water harvesting and preservation rather preparing coke and all.

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.

I have only one question to Indian Government, when soft drinks can reach those places why not water which is the essence of life. We all have encountered so many times that the JAL BOARD trucks all the time washing streets and not serving the water. Government says people waste water, by the time that van reaches the public, have of the water is already wasted, who is responsible for it? There is no need to compare water and soft drinks, water is the need and soft drink a demand. Government should focus first on needs rather than focussing only on demands.

Hi friends!

As we all know that water is natural resource and without that we can't survive in this world. There is no substitute for drinking water. The manufacturing cost of Pepsi and coke is very low but they selling at very high price. Unfortunately our drinking water price is around 15 to 18 rs. That's why this topic raised we need drinking water only not Pepsi or Coke. Since water is essential for every live, government has to take step to provide clean drinking water at low price. Rural India people are very much affected to get drinking water because of scarcity of water and lack of awareness and education.
