Answer:

The earth’s surface is covered with water, however most of this is saline water which can only be used after desalination. But desalination is an expensive method due to high energy consumption. Thus, conservation and sustainable use of water resources is imperative for the continuity of life on earth. Water scarcity would drastically change the environment along with our lives. Global water scarcity is expected to become a leading cause of political conflict in the future.

A recent UN report states that the world could suffer a 40 per cent water shortfall in just 15 years unless countries dramatically change their use of the resource. The report predicts global water demand will increase 55 per cent by 2050, while reserves dwindle. If current usage trends don’t change, the world will have only 60 per cent of the water it needs in 2030.

The conservation of water resources is a need of hour because: We know that the total composition of water is around 70% but the availability of freshwater resources is only 2%. So Water is one of the main valuable resources and must be used judiciously.
