Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A Turning off the tap while brushing
C Mopping the floor instead of washing

Water management means judicious use of water. It does not mean that we should stop using water. Some of the steps that can be taken are turning off the tap when not in use and mopping the floor instead of washing. Setting up a sewage treatment plant cannot be done at an individual level. Washing of clothes and utensils and taking a bath everyday are important activities which cannot be stopped.
