Question

an article on water conservation by adopting all modern techniques​

Answer 1

Water is essential for life. Water is a necessity for all living creatures on earth. Over the years we have seen that the level of water that can be put to use has reduced. Water available for irrigation is 3% out of which only 1% is put to use as the rest 2% is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. The level of water in the rivers and oceans has also gone down due to excess usage of water by the population of the world, and this is not replenishing in any way because the monsoon cycle has been disrupted and thus we do not have sufficient amount of rains to replenish the rivers and oceans. The need of the hour is not to debate over this but to find ways to conserve and manage water such that future generations can also make use of this water.
Water Conservation is a sound way to store water for future use. Conservation of water should start from home at first and then we should talk about using this measure on large scale.

Some steps that we can take at home are:
– Turn off the tap when not in use.
– Repair all leaks immediately.
– Use all those appliances which use minimal electricity as well as water like efficient dishwashers and washing machines.
– We should use water from air conditioners and put them to use in other domestic work like cleaning, etc.
– We should try and water plants either in the early morning hours or in the evening so that water does not get wasted because of evaporation.
– We can use water sprinkler to water our lawns and gardens which will use less amount of water and will also serve our purpose of watering the plants.

Large industries can also take up measures to conserve water. They can recycle water and reuse it for different purposes in the industry. They should use cooling towers that use less amount of water.

Answer:

Water Conservation

Water is necessary for life. Water is needed for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. There is no resource more precious than water. It is also the most misused resource.

Approximately 73% of the earth is water. But fresh and drinkable water is only about 3%. The remaining 70% is undrinkable salty sea and ocean water. So it is imperative to conserve this 3% of water. Every drop is precious. We must not pollute it nor waste it. These is the need of the hour. This is a challenge we cannot afford to ignore. There are different methods to conserve water and deal with water scarcity.

1 Rain water harvesting is the best and most suitable method.

2. Prevent dripping of water from taps

and showers. Leakage from water pipes should be quickly repaired.

3. Use the new low-volume flushtoilets.

4. Adopt water-efficient dishes and clothes washing methods.

5. While brushing your teeth or shaving do not waste water. Turn off the tap when not in use.

6. Bottled water is not regulated and contain harmful synthetic chemicals. Carry your own drinking water in non-toxic containers. The plastic used to bottle water become litters that pollute our rivers and lakes.

7. Efficient irrigation system can prevent water wastage.

8. Industrial waste and hospital waste are dumped in fresh water river and lakes. The water become so polluted that drinking it would result in diseases, unknown diseases with no cure.

9. The roots of trees retain rain water which is then available as underground water. A few decades ago environmentalists warned that there will be riots amount neighbours for a bucket of water. This is happening today in many places. We must stop deforestation and plant more trees on a war footing.
