" It is essential to conserve and manage our water resources" support the statement with suitable examples .





Water is a one of the most important resources in our lives. Without conserving and managing them, our lives would be severely impacted due to lack of good water resources.

We should conserve and manage our water resources:
To safeguard ourselves from health hazards,
To ensure food security,
continuation of our livelihoods,
and productive activities
To prevent degradation of our natural ecosystems.

Over exploitation and mismanagement leads to an ecological crisis which will impact us greatly.

For example:
Even in regions with ample water resources, they can experience water stress, due to many factors like overpopulation and it's demand for food and domestic uses, increasing number of industries that use water heavily, etc. The water's quality might be bad, which could be polluted and hazardous for us to use.

To prevent all this, it is essential to manage and conserve water resources

‘Rooftop rain water harvesting’ was commonly practised to store drinking water, particularly in Rajasthan.

In the flood plains of Bengal, people developed inundation channels to irrigate their fields.

In arid and semi-arid regions, agricultural fields were converted into rain fed storage structures that allowed the water to stand and moisten the soil like the ‘khadins’ in Jaisalmer and ‘Johads’ in other parts of Rajasthan
