Gushing down the mountains, smoothing pebbles, giving life to plants and people...that crystal clear stream of water is definitely a pristine beauty, a treat to the eyes. But today we rarely get to experience this wonderful miracle of nature. And there is absolutely no debate on who is to be blamed. Water in rivers, lakes, streams or seas is just treated as a dustbin for every possible kind of waste. Toxic waste from factories to domestic wastes that we coolly throw away into the water is all a cause of grave concern. It not only harms the balance of marine life but also suffocates all the plants that seek water from these sources. All this decreases the no. of species that will be left for our future generations to see.

Below there are pictures of a lake that I clicked during my visit to Rajasthan. The amount of waste dumped in it is just unbelievable. The amount of vegetation growing in the lake is almost negligible.
