At times, people may even think that there is enough distance between themselves and the water body. You cannot, however, guarantee that. One can easily slip down and be carried a certain distance away. At times, people may think that it will be easy for them to hold onto a ledge, branch or some kind of support if they slip near the water. This, too, is dangerous because that may not work in the long run, as the support may be wet and difficult to hold onto because of the water.

As summer scorches, we will see more groups on day trips and the onset of the monsoon also has groups near water bodies. The former for respite, the latter to enjoy the greenery and weather. One cannot stress enough the importance of keeping distance between yourself and the water. Stay behind the barricades if there are any. If not, simply stay many metres behind as that safe space, or your vantage point may be very dangerous and the water will take you away in a trice.
