Good morning to everyone in this room. I would like to thank the principal, the teachers, and my dear friends for allowing me to speak to you today about rivers. Being the primary source of freshwater, which is a basic requirement for human life, rivers are the foundation of human civilization. In reality, all ancient and modern civilizations originated close to riverbanks. In other terms, they are the earth’s life-supporting veins.
In every country, rivers are the primary supply of freshwater, and because of their fertility, early civilizations arose along their banks. They come from mountains and bring dirt, rock, and sand with them. This fertile soil accumulates on riverbanks as a river overflows, providing new fertile soil for the crops.
Rivers are crucial roadways and may transform deserts into fruitful crops. They also help in agriculture. They transport minerals from hills and mountains, which may be utilized to preserve biodiversity and provide hydel electricity. They are also employed to promote tourism and fishery development.
Utilizing biodegradable cleaning supplies, refraining from chemical body washes, installing toilet displacement devices, turning off lights and unplugging appliances when not in use, insulating pipes, watering plants in the early morning or late at night, and using recycled water for car washes are all important ways to protect rivers. Never dispose of trash in a river.
Being gifts from nature to people, rivers are essential. We receive so many benefits from it, yet these days, water is being heavily contaminated. To stop this from happening and preserve our rivers for a brighter future, we must all work together. Thank you.
