Water conservation – the steps to be adopted
Water conservation refers to the preservation, control and development of water resources, both surface and groundwater, and prevention of pollution.
Water is very essential for humans as well as other living beings for their sustenance. It is also required for irrigation and for different industries. Water is a precious natural resource and it should be used cautiously. We have to depend on rain for the water. The wastage of water should be minimum and at the same time the possibility of using recycled water should be explored.
