Start Taking Crucial Steps In Saving Water

Introduction

Save water is the water conservation through various means in order to maintain the supply of fresh and clean water. As the availability of fresh water sources are diminishing, water conservation or save water campaigns are very important so that fresh and clean water is made available to all the people across the world as well as for the future generations.

Causes of Fresh Water Scarcity

Large water bodies are getting polluted on daily basis by the industrial waste materials. The improper waste management has added to the issue. Pesticides and fertilizers have also contaminated water bodies and ground water. Irresponsible use of water and too much of water wastage have also reduced the availability of clean water.

Prevention of Water Scarcity

Proper water management systems should be implemented in all the industries, buildings, apartments, school, hospitals etc to make the efficient use of water without wasting a drop of it.

Awareness programmes should be run to let common people know about the importance of water and how it should be used in a limited quantity without wasting it. The young generation should also work to spread the awareness on saving water.

How to Save Water

I have mentioned below some better ways to save water on daily basis:

People should water their lawns and gardens only when they need water.
Sprinkling is better than watering with pipe which can save many gallons of water per month.
Planting drought resistant plants is a better way to save water.
Leaky faucets and plumbing joints should be fixed immediately to save water and it may save around 20 gallons of water per day.

Use of bucket and mug is good to wash car instead of using pipe which may save up to 150 gallons of water each time.

Use of flow restrictions to the showers also saves water.
Use of fully loaded washing machines and dishwashers saves water around 300 to 800 gallons per month.

Using less water per toilet helps in saving more water per day.
Washing fruits and vegetables in a water filled pot instead of washing under the running water saves water.

Rain water harvesting is a good idea by which the rain water can be stored and used in various purposes.

Conclusion

Water scarcity has become a major issue in many parts of world and demand for water has increased six times past few decades. It is important that we start taking crucial steps in saving water

available on earth. It is the responsibility and duty of every citizen of our country to use water in a responsible way and avoid the wastage of water because every drop of water we save will help others in their survival.
