How can we conserve water?

How Can We Conserve Water?

• Water must be used carefully. We should take care that water should not get wasted.
• The water used in the garden doesn’t need to be fit for drinking. Yet most often we water the gardens with drinking water supplied by the corporation. We should use water for gardening that has already been used in the kitchen for washing vegetables and fruits, etc.
• Always be careful that the water tank in your house doesn’t overflow when it is being filled.
• Don’t use a hosepipe to wash your car or scooter. Use a bucket instead.
• If you leave the tap running while brushing your teeth, about 16 litres of water get used up. Fill a mug with water and use it instead.

Conservation of water

There are a number of reasons why water conservation needs to be a priority for everyone. Here are some of them:

• Mostly all water is in the oceans in saline form and can’t be used directly
• While the total water on Earth does not change, but the water available for us to use diminishes with overuse
• When the groundwater goes below drastically, it cannot be accessed anymore
• Water is required in industries and for production of food
• The population growth is exponential but the water sources are only depleting
