Water is a precious natural resource. In order to make water easily available to us in future, we have to conserve it today. A few ways by which water can be conserved are as follows:
1. Construct dams and reservoirs to control flood and collect water.
2. Do not leave taps running while brushing teeth, shaving or washing clothes.
3. Recycle water in industries and use it as many times as possible, before disposing it.
4. Plant trees to slow down the flow of rainwater on land and to increase seepage of water into the soil.
5. Practice rainwater harvesting.
6. Repair leaking taps and pipes at the earliest.
7. Recycle polluted water and use it for irrigation.
8. Use biodegradable fertilizers and pesticides.
9. Farmers should use better methods of irrigation like drip irrigation in which water is supplied to plants drop by drop instead of filling the entire fields with water.
