Conservation of Water
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 and misunderstood 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. Water conservation is the prevention of water wastage and water scarcity. There are different methods to save water:
1. Rain water harvesting is the best and most suitable method.
2. Prevent dripping of water from taps and showers. Quickly repair leakage from water pipes.
3. Use new low-volume flush toilets. Adopt water-efficient dishes and clothes washing methods.
4. Use an irrigation system which uses water efficiently and prevent wasting.
5. While brushing your teeth or shaving do not waste water. Turn off the tap when not in use.
6. Take shorter showers.
7. Trees retain rain water in the soil and is later available to us as underground water. Plant more trees.
