Save Water (2022)

Created by: Armaan Ahmad. Sunbeam Lahartara, Varanasi, Rajasthan, India.

Description: Every year, especially in summer, we face a huge scarcity of water. We say save water — but do we mean it? Not exactly. About 250 – 575 litres of water is wasted every day — of which 0.5% is fresh and drinkable water. Many of the countries faced and are facing drought this summer. People are running here to there for water. That one minute of letting open the tap while brushing can satisfy the thirst of a person. This summer, the water scarcity rate has gone on a high level. We can create awareness for the same, but again, only we ourselves have to implement it. Some water harvesting techniques can be introduced for harvesting rainwater, reserving water in small areas for everyone’s use, water tankers in every area, underground tanks can be used, etc. I have created this poster to create awareness for saving water with a slogan and important elements visualizing the written text. It’s time to save water.

Bottled up (2020)

Created by: School ''Educativa Municipal Fernández Madrid'', Quito, Ecuador.

Description: In the drawing there is a plastic bottle representing the Earth planet floating in the sea, the bottle is not completely full and the color of water is turning brown. It represents the contamination and waste of water, which is causing the lack of this vital liquid in many parts of the world. Through the nozzle of the bottle, brown water emerges with garbage, plastic bottles, plastic covers, cans, chemical waste and tires, this refers to a large percentage of our oceans, contaminated by a large amount of garbage. On the other hand, at the base of the bottle there is a polar bear that represents melting ice due to global warming and the considerable loss of habitat of the Antarctic species. Radioactivity symbols represent acid rain caused by nuclear accidents and polluting spills.
