Water Conservation

 

 INTRODUCTION:

Water conservation is a broad category that covers simple ways to save water at home to complex, long-term measures taken to preserve water on a larger scale. The importance of water conservation becomes even more necessary as there is a limited source of freshwater that is beneficial for all human beings for a Healthy lifestyle. The freshwater available for use is unevenly distributed. Human activities are polluting the water sources threatening the survival of living beings.

Water is the key to our survival. Covering more than 70% of Earth, this indispensable resource is used for everything from drinking, bathing to even cooking and washing activities. However, despite being surrounded by water, only 1% of the freshwater is actually accessible to mankind for our use as 97% of water is present in oceans, and this saltwater is of no use to us as it is not drinkable.

WAYS FOR CONSERVATION OF WATER

1. Use water wisely

2. Do not water the plants in the rainy season 

3. Fix all the leaks 

ACTIVITY:

We had been out that afternoon touring our campus, learning about the different ways in which water conservation was being implemented. We first started off at the sewage water treatment plant and then we headed towards the incineration machine which was situated near the sewage water treatment plant. After exploring all these setups we visited the nearby lake which was used as ground water recharging purpose.

We had an informative talk given by our Lecturer, Miss.Ramya from Civil Department on ‘Water Conservation’. We gained much information about the availability of water, usage of water, reusability of water, techniques to conserve water, traditional methods of water conservation etc.

CONCLUSION:

Water conservation refers to the preservation of water and its resources through careful planning, control, development, and management of the resource.

Water helps to ensure the security of food resources as the growth of our crops and plants also depend on the water.
