To,

Subject: to suggest ways of preventing water wastage in locality.
Respected sir,
I beg to state that I am writing this letter to bring your vision on a major concern which is wastage of water. Water is the most valuable natural resource and we cannot live without it. But the present scenario shows that we may face scarcity of water one day if there remain no control on wasting water. I want to inform you that some taps are left open all day long or frequent times. People do not bother to off the tap after using it. There is lack of seriousness and awareness among people that what danger they are calling by wasting water. So, I want to suggest that there should be fixed timing of providing water in a day. There can be reservoirs of drinking water installed to provide needs of drinking water all day long. With this initiatives people will understand the value of water and stop wasting it.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Manisha Dutta
