Solution

The United Nations has recommended that every person requires about 50 litres of water every day for their daily needs like drinking, washing, cooking and maintaining a proper hygiene. Though 50 litres of water does not seem like a lot of water, yet billions of people all around the world do not have access to even half of this recommended quantity. Hence, there is an immediate need for spreading awareness about the conservation of water.
