Question 44
Why does water need conservation even though large oceans surround the land masses?
Water conservation is important because we need water for many essential activities. About three-fourth of Earth consists of water, but only 1% of it is freshwater. It is this freshwater which we can utilise for daily use. As water resources are not judiciously used, these are getting depleted. This will lead to the time when there will be water scarcity. If water conservation is carried out seriously, this will help to preserve water. It will also help to ensure water availability for future generations.
