People should water their lawn and garden only when they need water

.

Rainwater harvesting should be initiated by the people at village level. Rain water can be saved by making small or big ponds with proper maintenance. Young students need to be more aware and concentrate on the issues and solutions. Water insecurity and scarcity has affected people’s living in many countries of the developing world. According to the statistics, people’s demand for the water has been six fold in the past century. 40 per cent of the global population is living in the areas of demand outstrips supply. And in the coming decades this situation can be worsened because everything will expand like population, agriculture, industries, etc.

How to Save Water

I have mentioned below some better ways to save water on daily basis:

Sprinkling is better on the plants than putting more water with pipe which can save more gallons of water per month.
Planting drought resistant plants is better way to save water.
Leaky faucets and plumbing joints should be fixed properly to save water leakage which may save around 20 gallons of water per day.
Use of bucket and mug is good to wash car instead of using pipe which may save up to 150 gallons of water each time.
Use of flow restrictors to the showers also saves more water.
Use of fully loaded washing machines and dishwashers saves around 300 to 800 gallons per month.
Restricting the use of more water per toilet helps in saving more water per day.
We should wash fruits and vegetables in the water filled pot instead of washing under the running water.
Rain water harvesting is good idea for the purposes like use in toilet, watering garden, etc so that clean water can be saved for drinking and cooking purposes.
