Question

Speech on judicious use of water

Answer 1

A very good morning to the respected teachers, my dear friends and other gathered people here. As we are here to celebrate this occasion, I would like to speech on the topic of save water. Now-a-days, lack of useful water in our surrounding areas is the most serious topic which needs to be working out urgently. Three-fourth of the earth surface is covered by the water however there is lack of drinking water on the earth (only 1 %). The level of drinking water on the earth is getting down and dirty because of various industrial sources day by day. It is very serious matter that we are losing the useful water on the earth. Each human body consists of 75% water which make clear that how the water is important for us as a prime elements and responsible for life on the earth. Water circulates itself in the universe through the process of evaporation and rain.

A well developed human body contains an average of 42 liters of water however suffers dehydration at a very small loss of 2.7 liters. He/she starts feeling weak, irritable, fatigue, dizziness, nervousness, headaches, etc. We all should improve the habit of water saving and conservation in our home and outside. Here are some points which can help us in save water outside the doors:

We should use water according to the need and requirement and never over-water our lawn they need watering every 5 to 7 days (summer season), every 10 to 14 days (winter season) and almost not in the rainy season.We should water the lawns especially in the early morning or late evening because due to the low temperature and low wind speed it can not be lost through evaporation and totally used by the plants.We should not water the streets, driveways or sidewalks, all are wastage of water.We should use water-efficient methods of irrigation (micro and drip irrigation, soaker hoses, etc) while sprinkling over plants or other place.If a lawn cut higher, it encourages roots of the plants go deeper and holds more soil moisture thus require less water from outside.We should never fertilizes (or only sometimes according to need) our lawns because it increases the need of more water.Sprinklers or hoses can not be left unattended as they may loss approximately 600 gallons of water in few hours.Car washing should be done on the green ground or lawn otherwise prefer commercial car wash as they recycles water.We should avoid ornamental water features like fountains in the lawn as show piece.There should be filter system in the individual swimming pools.Mulching technique also helps plants to retain soil moisture for long time.We should try to plant some native and drought resistant plants, grasses, ground covers and shrubs in the lawns as they do not need more water to survive.There should not be any leakage in the water pipes in the home and in case of leakage, hose washers can be used between spigots and water hoses.

Thank You
