Answers
Answer:
Water conservation means the practice of using water efficiently to reduce unnecessary wastage of water. Water conservation is important because fresh clean water is a limited resource and mankind, animals, birds and all all life forms need water for survival. Water pollution and population explosion are causing scarcity of drinking water in our cities, towns and almost every where. Though the earth is about 70% water, only about 3% is drinkable and the remaining part are salty sea water. We must conserve water in every possible ways. Four ways to conserve water and prevent wasting of water are:
1) Rain water harvesting is the best way of conservation of water.
2) Fix any leak in your toilet and shower quickly. Check for leaks in water pipes both inside and outside the house.
3) Do not waste water by taking unnecessary long showers.
4) Rinse your vegetables in a bowl instead of washing them in a running water tap.
