旱灾给我们的反思

What Can the Severe Drought Teach Us?
A few years ago, the southwest of China suffered from severe drought. Being not able to obtain enough water for sustaining the daily routine, millions of people are agonizing, and even water for meals has become unobtainable for them.
The drought has caused a lot of severe problems in Southwest China. Economically, it has given rise to enormous loss to our country. Ecologically, with large areas of plants dying, the drought has aggravate the vegetation degradation in the Southwest. Socially, it may pose a threat to the social stability. Some victims of the drought even rushed to other places to avoid the disaster, which is not conducive to social harmony and security.
As far as I am concerned, the severe drought in Southwest should be a wake-up call. The government should make great effort to strengthen water conservancy construction and protect ecological environment. As individual citizens, we should learn how to cherish and make rational use of every drop of water. Otherwise the last drop of water in the world might be our tear.
