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.

According to me people staying in the rural area hardly get a sufficient money to drink a coke and Pepsi. They finish their thirst by drinking water. Water can finish your thirst and if you drink as much as water you want it will keep you fresh and refresh from inside. Pepsi and coke is a health hazard drink which contain lot of pestisides abd fat ingredient that will make you fat and physically unfit. I will say that is why rural people are more physically active than the urban.

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.

Water is basic need of human being. In case of rural area, there are always face the problem of shortage water. So they should get good water. Soft drink like papsi, coke etc are the harmful for human body. It's not healthy for human body. So we need water not soft drink in rural area.

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.

Yes friends, according to my point of view water is our basic need which keeps us alive and also keeps many diseases away from our health. So we can not compare water with coke, pepsi and other things these are the things only to get our mind fresh and cool and to have fun but yes we can live with these drinks but we can not live without water.

Commercial drinks are rubbish. Of course these companies are spending a fortune advertising this water with sugar and chemicals. It's dirt cheap to make and not good for your health. Drink natural water - add some mango extract or lemon. Infinitely better and healthier. Don't pander to American domination in thinking it's cool and with it to drink this absolute crap!

India is the great country but need pure drinking water specially in rural area where more than 70% peoples live. They are suffering mostly water born diseases like diarrhea, typhoid, cholera etc. This is most biggest problems in our country. It is very unfortunate and shame to us that this problems even still in our country. Our political leaders are not interested about it. They are very much interested about their interest especially corruption and earn money for them only and create artificial problems. Our Government should do proper step for supply pure drinking water as priority job. Hope for better services for pure drinking water for peoples of India.

Yes, that is true. Drinking water is more important than anything else in our day to day life. One can live without coke and pepsi but not water. A new survey proved that a human can live without food for nearly one month but without water, he can survive 7 days only. Coke and pepsi drinks are not good for our health. And also, doctors recommend to drink water in the morning. Because it purifies the bloodflow throughout the whole body. Soft drinks like coke and pepsi are composed of a lot of chemical components and unhealthy ingredients and all that. And what is so sad about the topic is that in some rural areas, people cannot get enough water for their daily needs. So government should take reasonable measures to make sure that they get the availability of water on a daily basis.

In my opinion the topic has many other meaning than its literal one. Water stand for the basic requirement and coke stand for luxurious things. Normally in rural areas the people are poor. So they require the basic things for living rather than the one for luxury.
