I. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow –

Water is one of the most important natural resources on Earth. All living beings, including humans, animals, and
plants, need water to survive. However, with increasing population and pollution, water is becoming scarce in
many parts of the world.

Many people waste water by leaving taps running, using excessive water for daily activities, and polluting water
bodies. If we do not take steps to save water now, we may face severe water shortages in the future. Simple
actions like turning off taps when not in use, fixing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, and collecting
rainwater can help in water preservation.

Governments and organizations are also working to create awareness about saving water. Water conservation
programs and campaigns encourage people to use water wisely. Every drop of water is precious, and by taking
small steps today, we can ensure that future generations have enough clean water to drink and use.
