Definition
 
    Water is inextricably linked
to energy and climate
change. Energy is required
for pumping and treating
water that we get at home.
Pumping and treating
wastewater is energy
intensive.

Introduction
 
Climate change will also impact freshwater supply.
Global warming is resulting in shifting rainfall
patterns, an increase in the number of dry days,
torrential rainfall over short periods of time, and
extreme weather events, all of which increase the
likelihood of droughts and floods.
Water is expected to be a major source of conflict in
future because demand is soaring and freshwater
reserves are severely stressed..

Tips to Save Water
 
Take shorter showers to reduce water
consumption.
Check your water bill to see how much water you
are using. Check all faucets, pipes, and toilets for
leaks.
Use mug instead of running the tap while
brushing teeth or shaving.
Use a toilet flush which consumes less water.
Water your plants early in the morning or late in
the evening to reduce water loss due to
evaporation.

Tips to Save Water
 
While watering plants, use watering-can instead
of a running hose.
For watering plants, use waste water that comes
off washing of food items.
Use water efficient sprinkler and drip irrigation
for your garden.
Promote drip irrigation and other water
conservation methods in agriculture. Practice
rainwater harvesting. RWAs should adopt this in
every public park of their locality.

Tips to Save Water
 
Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each
faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve
water, keeping water pressure high.
Make roof top rain water harvesting and
recharging wells/ tanks mandatory.
Utilize kitchen waste water for home gardening.
Wash utensils using collected water in a bucket
instead of washing directly under the running tap.
Instead of washing mop the floor

Tips to Save Water
 
Select village level volunteers to check whether all
the public taps and pipes are leak free.
Promote Eco-san toilets : a closed water - less
system
Skip rinsing dishes before using your dishwasher
and save water in each load.
Don't allow water overflow from the overhead
tank.
Don’t wash the clothes and kitchen utensils in the
water bodies.
Don’t throw waste in water bodies.

Tips to Save Water
 
Run your dishwasher, washing machine, and
dryer only when you have full loads.
Dry clothes in sunlight
Make water saving devices in taps mandatory.
Use rejects of your RO for toilet flushing.
Make percolation pits appropriately in backyards
and parking .
Avoid concrete pavements inside the compounds.
 
●●●

Tips to Save Water
 
Use less fertiliser on your lawn – better use
compost than chemical fertilisers.
Set your sprinkler to keep the water on the lawn.
Mulch around your landscaped area. A three-inch
layer of mulch holds moisture and prevents
evaporation, and conserves soil moisture thus
reducing the need to water.
Sweep your driveway and sidewalk instead of
cleaning with water
 
 
11
 
Why Save Water?
 
Water grows food
It protects our ecosystem and wildlife
Less water usage means more savings
Water supply is already limited
Conserving water also saves energy
We need it not only to sustain us but our
way of living.

13
 
Conclusion
 
Earth is the only known planet in this
universe where life is possible only because
of the availability of water and oxygen.
Water is most important necessity of life
for all the living beings on the earth.
Without water no one can exist even for a
day.
