Earth is home to millions of species but only We dominate it. Our cleverness, our inventiveness and our activities have modified almost every part of our planet. In fact, we are having a profound impact on it. Indeed, our cleverness, our inventiveness and our activities are now the drivers of every global issue we face. And every one of these issues is accelerating as we continue to grow towards a global population of 10 billion. At the present, the main problem is wastewater management and we are not doing enough to save water for our future generations and creating more bigger water problems for them.
At this stage, if we won’t reuse our wastewater then the world will end up soon with no water. Most of us believe that the ultimate solution to save water is decentralization of treatment plants. Now decentralizing means to install this system in each and every house so that water consumption decreases automatically, and people will easily be able to recycle their own consumed water again and again. The cycle of treatment plant in house is shown in figure 1.
Majority of us think that it is difficult to install treatment plants in every house because in under developed countries the poor part of society cannot afford it. For this government should give subsidies on these products and invest a portion of their collected taxes in this project to make sure that everyone installs these plants and maintain it properly.
Well the sole issue after decentralization of treatment plant is RESPONSIBILITY. Using this very delicate system, it will require some serious amount of accuracy and precision of maintenance. Every person should be responsible enough to use this system carefully, if not used responsibly the idea of decentralization of treatment plants will be in vain. The famous saying is that:
” You cannot escape the Responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”
I know few of us would not like to take the responsibility to maintain these treatment plants but there is no other best solution to save water for future generations except decentralization of treatment plants.
Now, I believe that:
“If you Love your next generations then you have to be Tough.”
Furthermore, the rights of citizenship can be balanced with responsibilities. The governments should frame out a draft of rules (A sort of Bill of Responsibility) specifically designed for executing out the procedure in order to start the system and mainly for using the body responsibly.
Understanding the term ‘responsibility’ is very simple but if illustrated and elaborated the term can be categorized into many aspects and the integral ones are as follows; which are needed to be mentioned in the draft.
- Role responsibility: role responsibility is referred to some social responsibility such as the dean of a faculty is role-responsible for the well-being of the faculty.
- Casual responsibility: casual responsibility simply means when a result is attributed to some event, which is known to be the cause of the result.
- Liability responsibility: means the one who has to tolerate the consequences. In criminal law it typically means liability to be punished.
- Capacity responsibility: concerns the possession of certain capacities without which an agent cannot be considered liable for his actions.
These above four are the integral aspects of being responsible and can be adapt in Bill of responsibility for treatment plants. With the law of having responsibility for looking after the treatment plants, we can get the finest results in saving water by reusing wastewater again and again. If someone is not taking care of his treatment plant, he should be warned first then lead to some plenty. Being responsible while using the system is the only way we can save water or else we should wait for a time to arrive when people will literally be deprived of all the water-dependant necessities. We collectively must be responsible enough to use this system carefully so that we can make it easy for our future generations to sustain life with ample amount of water. In the last I would like to say:
“A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.”
