Did you know in my country, Sri Lanka

The water supplies , originates from mountains gushing its way to rivers and streams. During the rain seasons with the abundance of water supply , the water are stored in reservoirs like for example, the Mahaweli reservoirThis scheme reaches out to far villages during the dry seasons to irrigate the lands and for drinking purposes, through dams. Yet there-is the problem of unclean water, and in dry zone in faraway villages people still do carry water for their daily consumption.To combat this and to make it easier to the poor villager the Governments, have installed water pumps in public areas

For healthier water supply the UNICEF have initiated water supply scheme for the southern region of my countrytp://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/sri_lanka_45501.htmlWe have water borne diseases when water is consumed, in an unhealthy manner.Overall we are blessed with pure good water, yet there are region, where water is hard, pertaining to the effects of the respective soil in the region.

  • Nice pictures! Water makes a picture more attractive.

    I know water pollution or water-borne diseases can be a major concern in many countries of the world. So I prefer to drink boiled water, even when drinkable tap/running water is available.
