WATER CONSERVATION
Save water before its too late

Water conservation
  • WATER IS AN IMPORTANT NATURAL RESOURCE WHICH IS
    ESSENTIAL FOR ALL LIVING BEINGS. IT IS ESSENTIAL
    FOR THE EXISTENCE AND SURVIVAL OF PLANTS, BIRDS,
    ANIMALS AND HUMAN BEINGS. WE USE WATER FOR
    DRINKING AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD ACTIVITIES LIKE
    WASHING, BATHING, COOKING, CLEANING AND SO ON.
    WATER IS ALSO USED FOR IRRIGATING THE FIELDS,
    GENERATING ELECTRICITY AND FOR TRANSPORTATION.
  • The earth is called a blue planet because
    three-fourth of its surface is covered with
    water. Most of this water exists in oceans. The
    ocean water is salty and cannot be used for our
    daily needs. Only a small part of water is fresh
    water. This is present in rivers, streams or
    lakes and can be used by us for our daily needs.
    This means that the amount of water available for
    us is limited. This limited amount of fresh water
    is further decreasing due to various factors.
    Hence, there is a scarcity of water.

Factors causing shortage of water
  • Setting-up of factories
  • Population
  • Deforestation
  • Rain and snow are the two main natural sources of
    water. However, the amount of rainfall and
    snowfall is decreasing due to changes in the
    climate. These changes are caused by various
    undesirable human activities. Deforestation,
    which means cutting of trees in the forests is
    one such activity. Trees are cut, and forests are
    being cleared, for building houses and factories.
    Some people cut trees just for earning money by
    selling the wood of these trees. At present, the
    number of trees being cut is more than that of
    being planted. This decrease, in the number of
    trees, results in decrease in rainfall. Strict
    steps should be taken to prevent deforestation.
    More and more trees to be planted to maintain
    balance in nature.
  • Big factories are being set-up at different
    places. This is to meet the growing demand of
    foodstuff, clothing and other materials. The
    factories need a large quantity of water. They
    fulfill this need by using underground water. Due
    to shortage of rainfall, underground water does
    not get filled up again as much as it is used.
    This has led to a sharp decrease in the level of
    underground water.
  • With increase in population, the demand for water
    has also increased. More people need more water
    but the supply is not increasing. Hence, the
    amount of water available for each person is
    decreasing.

Save Water
5
Ways of conserving water
  • We can avoid wastage of water in our daily life
    by adopting the following measures
  • Turn off the tap after using it.
  • Do not keep the tap running while brushing your
    teeth or washing hands.
  • Use a mug and bucket to take bath instead of a
    shower.
  • Water the plants with a bucket and mug instead of
    a pipe.
  • Take only that much water in a tumbler that you
    can drink. Do not throw the leftover water in the
    sink. Pour it over plants.
  • Do not throw away water used for washing
    vegetables, rice or pulses. Use it for watering
    plants.
  • Get the leaking pipes and taps repaired.
