Question

What can be your key five suggestions to be given to government to do water conservation effectively?

who gives the correct answer i will follow and mark the brainiest and no copy from google

Answer 1

1 .   Appoint a Water Efficiency Coordinator

2 .    A water efficiency coordinator is essential in implementing all aspects of your city/county water efficiency program. Depending on the scope of the water efficiency program, the coordinator may also assemble a water conservation team. Local government officials must give this team the responsibility and authority to research, design and implement the water efficiency program.

3 . Local governments can replace plumbing fixtures and appliances with water efficient models. Cities and counties can offset the cost to purchase water efficient equipment by applying for water efficient rebates for clothes washers, high efficiency toilets, and other water efficient products.

4 .Water efficient landscape design, also known as “xeriscape” can help to conserve water, save money and reduce green waste, urban runoff, and GHG emissions. Appropriate plant selection such as the installation of native and drought-tolerant plants can be utilized to reduce water consumption in landscaping. Hydro zoning is another technique to group plants with similar watering requirements. Minimizing turf areas and using lawn grass that demands less water can help to reduce water consumption in landscaping. Proper soil preparation such as adding compost in appropriate areas is critical to successful water conservation. Mulch can also help to reduce water usage by decreasing soil temperature and the amount of soil exposed to wind. Mulching also helps to suppress weeds. All of these xeriscaping techniques reduce the need for irrigation, pesticides, and gas powered maintenance equipment.

5 . Some cities and counties have adopted green building requirements for all new municipal buildings. Local governments can require all new facilities that are designed and certified to third-party green building rating systems to meet a minimum number of points for water efficiency. For example, some cities and counties may require at a minimum that all new municipal green buildings reduce potable water usage indoors by 20% and outdoor water usage by 50%. The US Green Building Council includes points in their LEED Rating System for these same and higher thresholds of water efficiency
