Hello...

Water is very essential for human beings as human bodies are made of water. Almost 70% of the earth is covered with water out of which only 3% of the total water is freshwater which we can use. It clearly shows how much it is important for us to consume water judiciously. But we are doing exactly the opposite of this, such as we haven't kept our water bodies clean. Industrial wastes or effluents and sewage discharges are directly entering into the rivers, in cities buildings are constructed on the dried ponds and lakes. So when the rain arrives we don’t have any space or any provision to preserve the rainwater. And because of this, we are facing the issues of floods.

Moreover, we need to create a lot of awareness among all about water conservation methods. People living in cities are facing major water crisis issues. The main reasons behind this is a population explosion, sudden rise in migration of people from rural areas to the cities, pollution in water bodies and so on.

Steps or ways for saving water-

Firstly, as a responsible citizen, we can reduce the amount of water we use daily for various purposes such as bathing, laundry, watering plants and so on then we can easily save water for our future generation. Some of the other methods of saving water are given below

• Everyone should make it their responsibility to save water daily

• Install or make canals on the rooftops so that rainwater can be stored and reused for household chores and it can recharge groundwater

• Instead of using shower use buckets for bathing or use low flow shower, it will save a lot of water

• Convert toilet to low flush, & repair leakage

• Always water the plants in the evening to minimize evaporation

• Don’t let the tap running while using for washing your face and hands and close the tap after using it

• Increase awareness about save water initiatives among people

• Reduce and recycle

• All farmers need to adopt advanced methods of irrigation so that they use less water for farming

• Villagers need to stop open definition and direct use of river water for domestic uses such as washing clothes, and cleaning utensils

• Proper treatment of industrial water before dumping them into the river

• Use of the required amount of water and avoiding wastage

Apart from all these methods, we need to keep track of the usage of water and water wastage and what causes the water pollution so that it will be easier for us to fight against this water crisis. If every single person takes the responsibility to save water then as a society, we can save a lot of water.

I hope this helps you and if you have any further queries then feel free to ask in the comment section.
