Answers
we must all conserve water.
everyone knows that earth is a blue planet and About 71% of Earth's surface is covered with water. but that doesn't mean that we can use it.
about 97% of total water on the earth are ocean and sea water. and we know that they are salty water. we can't drink it. now left 3%. this 3% of water is our fresh water but 69% of this fresh water is in form of ice, snow and glaciers. 30% as ground water.. only 0.3% of fresh water is found in rivers, lakes, pond etc. and only this 0.3% of fresh water is for all of us..
so now, what you think? we must conserve at least this much or not? obviously yess..
now some methods to conserve water :-
⏹try to reuse water as much as possible.
⏹fix all leaks in pipes, hoses, pipes etc. leaky faucets can lead to large amount of water wastage.
⏹ improve irrigation system in your garden. use modern methods like drip system, sprinkler system etc.
⏹conserve rainwater. each and every person can at least save one bucket of water. and that makes a lot..
⏹while working with water like washing dishes or anything.. close the tap when there's no need.
⏹having shower instead using bucket or bath tub can save up to 50% of your water.
