Water Conservation and Conservation Methods

Water conservation is a method which thinks about current and future human demand of freshwater. Water is a natural resource where every human needs in their daily life for survival. 

Conservation methods: 
Protection of water from pollution: If fresh water availability on earth remains free from pollution it is sufficient to meet the drinking water needs of survival on earth unfortunately this doesn't happen due to increase in economic activities, urbanization etc. To make this true we have to make sure water form rivers, lakes and underground water should be maintained unpolluted. 

Redistribution of water: Water existing on the surface of the earth need to be distributed equally for human activities. So that we can avoid borewells and machines to draw water from underground.

Groundwater utilization: Groundwater utilization is 25% of the total supply of water in the world remaining 75% is used from the water sources of rivers lakes etc. Demand for groundwater is increasing day by day to adjust to this we need to maintain the level of proportion of using the groundwater, to the level of recharging capacity.

Revolution in traditional water services: Traditional water storage places need to be used in such a way that demand for agriculture and drinking water need to be met successfully for all the people around the world.

Water conservation – How to save every last drop

My six year old neighbor asked me why she should not bathe in the tub every day. There is so much water on Earth, she rationalized. Her teacher had recently taught her in school that most of the Earth was filled with water. Samuel Taylor Coleridge answers her innocent question best. “Water water everywhere, not any drop to drink.” It seems like just one drop, but it will soon fill a bucket… ( Suggested Graphic: shutterstock.com) It is true, of course, that over 70% of the Earth is filled with water. The problem is that only 2.5% of it is freshwater. Of this, only 1% is accessible to us to process as drinking water. This is because most of the freshwater is in the form of glaciers, icecaps and snowfields. So, there, really, isn’t as much usable water as it seems. The ever-increasing population, has only sent total water requirement northwards. The situation in most parts of the world has become desperate. Water co...

What is the importance of watersheds and their management?

Water is the one of the main sources of life on Earth. Without it, there would be no existence on the planet. It is also a precious and scarce resource. In a bid to conserve water, there has been much emphasis on watersheds and their management . What is a watershed ? Why is its management so essential? Read on to learn more. Watershed management  Source: http://watersheds101.ca/learn-about-watersheds/what-is-a-watershed 1)    What is a watershed? A watershed is any land that feeds the water running through and across it into larger water bodies – wetlands, rivers, lakes and oceans. The water from precipitation may flow on the surface of the land or underground as ground water. Naturally, it flows from higher elevations to lower. How much water flows downstream depends on the temperature, soil mix, slope and land cover of the watershed. Watersheds include farm land, towns, cities...
