Amanzi bubomi. Uqukuqela emilanjeni yethu, wondle umhlaba wethu, kwaye uxhasa yonke into ephilayo. Kodwa kuthekani ukuba besikuxelela ukuba amanzi angaphezulu nje kobutyebi? Ngumbalisi wamabali, ibhulorho esidibanisa nendalo, kunye nesipili esibonisa imeko yendawo esingqongileyo.

Ihlabathi Elingenawo Amathontsi

Khawube nomfanekiso wakho uphethe ithontsi elinye lamanzi. Kwesi sithuba sincinane kukho undoqo wobume bendalo, imbali yeemvula, kunye nesithembiso sesivuno sexesha elizayo. Amanzi anamandla okuhamba—ukusuka encotsheni yeentaba ukuya kutsho kubunzulu bolwandle—ethwele iinkumbulo zeendawo ahamba kuzo. Kodwa olu hambo luya lugcwala imingeni.

Umnxeba Othuleyo weNdawo

Namhlanje, imvisiswano yendalo phakathi kwamanzi nemekobume isengozini. Ungcoliso, ukugawulwa kwamahlathi nokutshintsha kwemozulu kuphazamisa umjikelo wamanzi, kungcolisa imithombo exabisekileyo, yaye kubeka esichengeni ukulungelelana kobomi. Umsinga ongcolisekileyo awungomcimbi wasekuhlaleni nje; ngumsinga ochaphazela amanxweme akude.

Indima yakho kuMqukumbeko

Iindaba ezilungileyo? Lonke ukhetho esilwenzayo ludala ii-ripples zalo. Izenzo ezilula-njengokunciphisa inkunkuma yamanzi, ukuxhasa ukucoca ukucoca, kunye nokukhetha iimveliso ezizinzileyo-kunokubuyisela ibhalansi. Yiba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wamandla adibeneyo ezigidi zenza izigqibo ezizizo ukukhusela amanzi ethu kunye nokusingqongileyo.

Umbono ngengomso

Makhe siphinde sicinge ngobudlelwane bethu namanzi. Cinga kungekuphela nje njengento edliwayo, kodwa njengento yokuyixabisa. Sikunye, sinokwenza ikamva apho imilambo ibaleka icacile, iilwandle zichulumancisa ubomi, kwaye ithontsi ngalinye lamanzi libalisa ibali lethemba nemvisiswano.

Ke, kwixesha elizayo xa uvula itephu, thatha umzuzwana ucinge: Ukhetho lwakho luya kuphumela njani kwihlabathi?

Masibe lutshintsho—ithontsi libe linye, ukhetho lube lunye, libe linye ngexesha.
