Some steps to conserve groundwater are as follows:
1. All chemicals should be adequately disposed of.
2. The amount of fertilisers used on plants should be limited.
3. The sewage pipes should be free from leakage.

Chemicals, fertilisers and other toxic substances if not properly used can infiltrate to the groundwater and contaminate it.
