Write the summary of the given paragraph. (Word Limit- 100 words) Rafting or white water rafting is a challenging and recreational activity using an inflatable raft to navigate a river or other bodies of water. This is usually done on white water or different degrees of rough waters for its thrill and excitement. The development of this activity as a leisure sport has become popular since the mid-1970s.White water rafting can be a dangerous sport, especially if basic safety precautions are not observed. It has its share of injuries and fatalities. But like most outdoor sports, rafting has become safer over the years. Expertise has increased, and equipment has become more specialized and increased in quality.Risks in rafting stem from both environmental dangers and improper behaviour. Rafting is often played for the adrenaline rush and this often becomes a problem for people and their own safety. Certain features on rivers are inherently unsafe and have remained consistently so despite the passage of time. These would include fallen trees, dams, rocks and high waterfalls. Rafting with experienced guides is the safest way to avoid such features.Rafting contributes to the economy of many regions which in turn may contribute to the protection of rivers from hydroelectric power generation, diversion for irrigation, and other development. Additionally, white water rafting trips can promote environmentalism. By experiencing first hand beauty of a river, individuals who would otherwise be indifferent to environmental issues may gain a strong desire to protect and preserve that area because of their positive outdoor experience.​
