Introduction

Water, one of the most valuable natural resources on the earth, is the lifeblood of life and the link that binds all living beings on the planet. The public, as is argued by a group of people, should enjoy the basic right to access sufficient fresh water in their daily lives for domestic purposes, be it preparing food or doing the laundry. Additionally, the industrial production is in correspondingly more dependence on water resources, be it fueling the manufacture of commodities or contributing to the agricultural irrigation.  Without the unfettered access to water，people’s fundamental needs cannot be satisfied， which further spawns more life and social problems. The restricted use of water,for example, engenders less irrigation on agriculture, which will induce the deduction of food output, thereby triggering the latent threat of famine.

Body 2
Nonetheless, from my perspective, despite the indispensable role it plays, finite water resources, the fresh potable water in particular, could not bear lavish and infinite exploitation of we human beings. Meanwhile, A ballooning number of population has occasioned mushrooming water demands globally, but the awareness of water saving is lost when. A raft of people are seen using water prodigally in many cases such as watering bodies more than one hour or brushing their teeth with tap water running. Without conservation efforts, water scarcity is bound to be ticklish global issue. By this token, strict governance is of paramount significance in ensuring sustainable utilization of water. The government, as the one most capable and likely to address any social issues, is supposed to enact tougher laws and carry out relevant punishment such as imposing a price hike or heavy fine to accomplish the purpose of deterrent, constricting large companies and individuals from unnecessarily and improvidently clearing water.
