LB Nagar residents walk to raise awareness on conserving water

HYDERABAD: To address the looming water crisis and promote responsible water usage, Sahara States Welfare Association, in collaboration with Igniting Minds - Walk for Water organisation, organised a water crisis awareness walk in the Sahara States gated community colony in LB Nagar.

The walk, organised on Sunday, saw enthusiastic participation from approximately 75 residents and staff members. Led by Srikanth, president of Sahara States Welfare Association, and Karunakar Reddy, founder of Igniting Minds - Walk for Water, the event was aimed at educating the community on the importance of conserving water resources and avoiding wasteful practices.

During the walk, participants engaged in discussions about the critical need to use water judiciously, especially considering the challenges of sourcing water from over 180 kilometers away. Srikanth emphasised the importance of respecting water resources, warning that failure to do so could lead to a water shortage shortly. In a symbolic gesture of commitment, all attendees collectively took a water pledge, vowing to consume water wisely and prevent any unnecessary wastage.

They also pledged to spread awareness among their families, friends, and neighbours, encouraging them to adopt responsible water usage habits.

"We are thrilled to see the community come together to address this pressing issue. By working together and making small changes in our daily routines, we can ensure a sustainable future for generations to come,” said Srikanth.

Karunakar Reddy added, “It's inspiring to witness such proactive participation in raising awareness about water conservation. Every individual has a role to play in safeguarding our precious water resources.”

The event concluded with a call to action for continued efforts in water conservation and an invitation for other communities to join the movement.
