Water is a basic necessity of life, essential for human beings to consume pure water daily. The question arises whether it is the government’s responsibility to provide pure water for its citizens, or if individuals should obtain it themselves. This essay will focus on the latter.
In today’s world, access to pure water is no longer a major issue, except in remote areas. The government should not be solely accountable for supplying pure water to the people, as there are numerous water filtration facilities in almost every populated city. Residents of remote areas can avail themselves of these water treatment plants. These facilities are commonly established and managed by various welfare organizations, affluent individuals in the region, etc., benefiting both the citizens and the government by improving access to clean water.
Individuals can easily ensure access to clean water in various ways without depending on the government. Simply boiling water on a home stove can effectively remove impurities. Many studies have shown that water is purified when boiled to 100 degrees Celsius. Many people in the past and even today follow this practice to ensure clean drinking water. It is a simple way to take control of one’s water quality without relying on the government.
