Question

Describe various ways by which water can be conserved?

Answer 1

Water conservation: Water conservation means preserving and controlling the usage of water.

There are many ways to conserve water and these are as follows:

• We can use water-efficient flush toilets. By using it, we can save a lot of the water that gets wasted otherwise.
• We can also reduce wastage of water and help to conserve it by regularly checking for leaky pipes and taps and repairing them.
• We tend to waste a lot of water when we bathe using showers. So we can reduce the wastage of water by using buckets for bathing instead of showers.
• We should prefer watering the plants during the coolest part of the day like at dusk or early in the morning. Since the temperature is lesser during those times, less water will be lost by evaporation from the soil.
• While brushing teeth or clearing utensils we involuntarily leave the taps on. We need to change this habit to turn off taps when not needed.
• Last but not least, we can organise awareness camps and let people know about all the simple everyday practices which they can adopt to conserve water.
