Question

Why do we suffer from shortage of water? Suggest some ways to conserve water.

Answer 1

The earth has plenty of water but more than 95% of total water on earth is in the form of saline water. Less than 2% of total water on earth is available as drinking water. Due to this, people often have to face shortage of drinking water. We should always keep in mind that water is precious.
Following steps can be taken to conserve water:
Use a bucket for bathing instead of shower to reduce consumption of water.
Do not keep the tap open while brushing your teeth.
Use the water left after washing clothes for watering the plants and for washing car or scooter.
Reuse the water left after washing vegetables to water the plants
Repair any leakage in tap or pipeline.
