Save water in city living

Certainly! Here’s a new story set in a city background with a focus on saving water:


Story: “The Drip in the City”

In the bustling city of Metroville, life moved fast—cars honked, lights blinked, and tall buildings reached for the sky. People lived in apartments, worked in glass offices, and rarely thought about where their water came from.

In one of those tall buildings lived Kabir, a 10-year-old boy who loved to observe things. One night, he was awakened by a soft, repetitive sound—drip… drip… drip. He followed it to the kitchen, where a tap was leaking.

He tried to close it, but the dripping didn’t stop.

The next day, he told his parents. “It’s just a few drops,” said his father. “No big deal.” But Kabir was curious. He placed a bucket under the tap and timed how fast it filled. In two days, it was full.

“That’s over 10 liters,” Kabir told his class. His teacher, impressed, encouraged him to make a project on “Water Waste in Cities.”

Kabir surveyed neighbors, clicked photos of overflowing tanks, dripping pipes, and people washing cars with open hoses. He created a presentation titled “The Invisible Flood” and showed how thousands of liters of water were wasted daily in their building alone.

The residents were shocked.

Soon, the building society fixed leaky taps, installed automatic water level sensors, and educated families on responsible water use. Inspired by Kabir, nearby buildings followed suit.

What began as a dripping tap became a wave of awareness.

Metroville began to change—one drop at a time.


Moral: In cities, waste is often invisible—but every small action counts. Save water. Start now.
