The WHY's and HOW's of Water Conservation!

To the times that we have come to live in, it is essential to know that fresh and clean water is largely becoming a limited resource. While we know that almost three-fourth of the planet is covered in water, it is salt water that can only be consumed by homo-sapiens and the other inhabitants after undergoing the process of desalination, which is much of an expensive process. 
We often see that occurrences such as floods and droughts further limit access to clean and fresh water. This largely comes to the terms that we, as responsible citizens of the planet Earth, need to take steps to reduce water use, conserve it in the best possible manner and save as much water as possible. 
There are several reasons across several areas of the world where access to water is limited due to contamination. Thus it becomes imperative for people all over the world, who have access to fresh water can take steps to limit their use of water to avoid waste and conserve in the best ways possible.
The "WHY" of Water Conservation
We, as responsible individuals, should do our best to conserve water for following reasons. 

1. The less is the water used or wasted by people, the lesser the water will become polluted and contaminated. 
2. As science states in few cases, using excess amounts of water puts strain on the sewage systems, that leads to contamination of groundwater, as untreated, dirty water seeps from the sewage system into the ground.
3. Water conservation often reduces energy use. 

4. It also saves on pockets as several families pay to use water in the cities. The less water a household uses, the less they have to pay each period. 
Also, the world is a witness as to conserving water now allows large cities to plan for more effective and efficient means to use the water resources in the future. This is because if most of an area's clean water is wasted, there will not be any water left for future generations to use, which would mean that the city would need to come up with new ways to produce clean water for its residents, which will ultimately be at the taxpayers' expense, further adding to the burden.
The "HOW" of Water Conservation
There are several ways in which we can go ahead and make changes in water conservation. Below are some of the ways where we can make positive changes and impact on overall grounds:

1. The wise choices of individuals at home. For instance the use of dishwater only when it is completely loaded with the dishes. Also, taking shorter showers, watering plants when necessary. 
2. Using the collected water through #CuttingPaani for watering plants, pet feeds, in the birds' pots/vessels. 

3. Replacing old flushes which use water multifold can aid in reducing water conservation by consuming less gallons of water.

4. Spillages and leaks need to be prevented at all cost as a lot of water is wasted through them. It is must to ensure every single drop of water is saved.

5. Creating awareness among school students, society members, and individuals everywhere as every single effort goes rewarded in the steps towards conserving resources of the nature.
Thus, we must know that conserving resources such as water for the future generations is a prime responsibility that we must owe, which is very little of legacy that we can pass on to the future generations. It is must that we begin it at home, as it is well known that the prime acts of service begins at home.
