Question

What is water management? Explain a few steps to manage water at the individual and community levels.

Answer 1

Water management is a process of developing, optimizing, and planning water resources.

At the individual level we should:

• Check for leaking taps and repair them as soon as possible.
• Turn off taps while brushing or doing any other activity.
• Avoid overuse of water.

At the community level we should:

• Avoid littering and do not throw waste, garbage in ponds, lakes, rivers, etc.

• Clean water bodies like ponds, lakes, etc. This makes water safe not only for us but for animals also.
