Making Full Use of Rainwater
Huge abstraction of groundwater to meet the demand of huge amount of groundwater is leading us to a new crisis. In Dhaka city, the water level is going down by 3 meters every year. Moreover, various types of installations are being constructed by filling the reservoirs in the urban areas. As a result, the groundwater level is constantly falling. It causes a crisis of soft groundwater.
Rainwater is a very good alternative source of soft water. Rainwater improves digestion, acts as an antioxidant in cancer patients, makes hair beautiful and acts as a bactericide. So we should pay more attention to the utilization of rain water. Another advantage of using rainwater is that it greatly reduces the cost of pumping and thus electricity is saved. There are several ways to conserve rainwater. Rainwater is largely capable of meeting our soft water needs. So in the current water crisis, we need to focus on making full use of rainwater.

Prevent Abuse Of Social Media
Currently the number of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter users is increasing at an alarming rate. Whatever wishes, whoever writes his opinion in an instant whether it has an anti-religious, anti-humanitarian, or negative impact on the social context is out of the question. The ghost of cheap popularity has haunted most of the users. However, in this case, the young society is ahead. They don’t stop commenting like that, they are also trying to gain popularity with various video contents. There is nothing like learning or positive impact on society in these promoted videos, but they are obsessed with various obscenities. The video is being released at the moment by holding various body postures through communication. These poor young people are walking towards darkness day by day.
So, family should explain to the child from the beginning about the positive and negative aspects of using social media. The main responsibility of the child is to restrain his own family in these matters.
