Our own Ecosystem

( Read 7388 Times)

After more than four decades, we have even Jaisamad full to its capacity, congratulations Udaipur. Now, this is the time to celebrate and ensure we get an opportunity to celebrate every year. Lakes, gardens, the entire natural beauty of the city is passing through a delicate stage. If the ecosystem is not nurtured now, we might never see these wow moments in the future which we do not want to happen, right!


The ecosystem of a lake is formed by living beings and plants of the Lake. And the balance of these elements is very important for the survival of the system. Today’s pollution has made an adverse effect on the entire ecosystem of the lakes in Udaipur which is a worrisome thing.
Not diving deep into technicalities, the need is to find a solution to at least stop all the mess being put into these lakes.


These lakes are the lifeline of the Udaipur which caters to the daily living of more than 60 percent of the population of the city. So, the drive and desire to clean these lakes and maintain that cleanliness in order to save the ecosystem is not just an endeavor towards humanity and nature, it also caters to the larger need to the survival of the city and its people.


The ultimate blame that used to fall on the head of people of Udaipur who used to visit these lakes and end up throwing waste is now becoming an empty and toothless argument. The citizens have got the awareness and now are ensuring no pollution is done by them. The practice of throwing waste in bins is catching up fast. So, even if now the ecosystem falls into any peril, authorities will have to answer, for sure.


What we see today is the legacy of our ancestors. But we are not doing the same. Of course, we are going to leave the footprints of our existence but that might not make or kids proud. They might see some empty and perhaps encroached holes deprived of any water drop. It sounds like not-my-job but it affects us all. Even if one person is polluting the lakes, he is actually throwing a stone in the water which creates a ripple effect. Everyone will see and beer.


It’s not just about the entire system, the city as a whole, or taking the onus to change the world on your shoulder, its more about doing your part. If you cannot help in cleaning a lake, ensure you do not pollute it at least. In any form, through any means, you need to contribute. A lake’s ecosystem also depends on the availability of water and rain. If you are unable to do your bit for the lake, plant a sapling or simply save a tree from being cut.


This way you will be helping clean the environment and to ensure rains in the future as well. And all this is not for anyone else, this needs to be done for yourself. You need water to drink, clean air to breathe, and rain to survive.


This oxygen comes from a tree that was planted years ago by one of our ancestors. Have we done our part to thank them for this noble gesture of them? You do not need to find the planter and say thank you. You can’t even find one. What you need to do to thanks them back just plants at least two or more saplings and nurture them until they become independent. This way you act in three-ways--You thank your ancestors, you grow your own oxygen, and you leave a legacy for your children.


Planting a tree, maintaining the ecosystem, avoiding pollutions are some of the small efforts we all can do to save the environ we live in an depend on.
