    Water Conservation

    Uploaded by

    Water conservation is important because only 1% of the world's water is available freshwater for human use. With increasing populations, urbanization, and other factors, the demand for fresh water is rising rapidly while resources are being depleted. Simple techniques like fixing leaks, using water-efficient appliances, rainwater harvesting, and greywater reuse can help conserve water at both the local and global level. Educating people about justified water use and implementing new technologies and policies are also needed to address the growing water challenges.

    INTRODUCTION
    Waterconservationmeans using our water wisely and

    caring for it properly.


    Around 97% of all the water on the earth is salt water

    which is not suitable for drinking. Only 3% of all the water is fresh water, and only 1% is available for drinking water. The other 2% is locked in ice caps andglaciers.
    The problem of water is local as well as global.

    Water Availability

    WATER AVAILABILITY

    97% salt Water 2% ice caps 1% fresh water resource

    93%

    Need for water conservation


    Increasing populations, urbanization, growing

    industrialization, and expanding agriculture have pushed up the demand for fresh water
    Both biodiversity and human communities are

    at risk. Fresh water resources are depleting at a very fast rate


    Pollution of water resources is also depleting

    our available water

    Water Availability
    In India, out of total 1% of world water only 4

    % is available.
    At present, Mumbai requires 3,600 million

    liters per day, but the civic corporation is able to provide only 2,900 million liters per day (MLD).
    Strangely, there is no shortage of water in the

    city at all

    Problems faced
    Drinking water is distributed across the city

    through pipelines that sees large quantities of wastage through leakages.


    People in general are yet to come out of the

    mindset that water is naturally available and hence, a free commodity


    low tariff rates, the policy of subsidy and low

    recovery rate as well as metering errors and billing mistakes burden the system.

    2% drinking 3% wasing

    17% gardening

    29% Flushing

    15% washing utensils

    15% bathing

    19% washing clothes

    RAIN WATER HARVESTING:

    Two types: Surface runoff

    Roof top
    Methods of roof top RWH

    1.Storage of direct use 2. Recharging ground water a) Recharging bore wells b) Recharge pits c) Recharge trenches d) Percolation tanks

    Methods of roof top RWH(cont.)


    Recharging bore wells

    Recharge pits

    NEW TECHNOLOGY
    Faucet Aerator An aerator spreads this stream into many little

    droplets. This helps save water and reduce splashing.


    Greywater Greywater is wastewater generated from domestic

    activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation and constructed wetlands.

    OTHER

    TECHNOLOGY

    Faucet Aerator An aerator spreads this stream

    into many little droplets, this helps save water and reduce splashing.
    Automatic Faucet An automatic faucet or tap

    that opens its valve to allow water to flow in response to the presence of a hand or hands in close proximity.

    The simple tasks we perform every day


    Check faucets and pipes for leaks regularly. Use the water efficient taps. These taps turn off automatically when not in use. Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, & then reuse it to water houseplants. Collect water from your roof to water your garden Do not over-water plants. Change begins with us, and if we lead by example, others are more likely to follow.

    conclusion
    In conclusion we suggest that water conservation

    techniques like rainwater harvesting, grey water should be implemented immediately. It will help in conserving a lot of water.
    Secondly it isnt as costly as building damns. Also its

    implementation does not requires


    People to lose their livelihood which is a drawback of

    building damns.

    Secondly people should be educated in justified use of water. Water rates should increase to make people realize importance of water. System of pipeline should be immediately replaced so no leakage occurs.
