Nature is everything we are surrounded by like the water we drink, the air we breathe, the sun we soak in, the birds we hear chirping, the moon we gaze at and more. Above all, it is vibrant and it consists of both living and non-living things.
Nature is the reason behind all lives dwelling on the earth. It is the blessing of the invisible power for all living organisms. Nature is the gift of mother Earth to all mankind and other living organisms. Nature is the best remedy for all problems over the world.
Nature has been an inspirational figure for several writers, because it is believe to have a way of freshen-up the mind and body and open up the gateway to the inner soul and connect one to the deep things of life. Healthy lakes and their shores not only provide us with a number of environmental benefits but they influence our quality of life and they strengthen our economy.
Proper lake function can ease the impact of floods and droughts by storing large amounts of water and releasing it during shortages. Lakes also work to replenish groundwater, positively influence the water quality of downstream watercourses, and preserve the biodiversity and habitat of the area. When the ecological puzzle pieces of a lake come together and the lake can work as it should, the big picture is clear, we all stand to benefit from this important resource.
Lakes can provide us with prime opportunities for recreation, tourism, and cottage or residential living. They are also respected by many people for their historical and traditional values and may be a source of raw drinking water for a municipality.
Lakes can also be used as a water supply for industry and an irrigation source for agriculture. So you see lakes are more than just a simple body of water used by many people to enjoy recreational activities. They are important ecosystems that, when respected and cared for, can sustain a healthy balance of aquatic life, provide us with much enjoyment, and help support our socio-economic needs. It is our responsibility to continue to practice stewardship in our lakes by keeping them healthy for all, especially those who depend on them.
Plateau state is blessed with lakes created by mining activities as a means of generating income for the state, it goes a long way in solving the protracted water challenge in some of the communities, and provides us with various aquatic lives that we can use for both consumption within the state and distribution to other neighbouring state and tourism value.
In a recent survey, it is found that glaciers are melting and this is the reason behind the sudden rise in ocean waters. It is a serious issue caused by global warming.
What if there will be no forests? No Water?
Earth will be all barren Forest Life will roam in human society, and aquatic life will all vanish and seize to exist.
What about humans? The time has come to protect Mother Nature from losing its glory and natural charm.
