    Even though we have a lot of river and oceans but the water they have is very salty and cannot be consumed directly. That means only some amount of water is appropriate for intake. We should use the water effectively and make sure it is not wasted.
    Like for eg
    • If you have a pet make him bath in the lawn so that the water is not wasted and the grasses are being watered from the same.
    • Try taking shower in place of bathing as it requires lesser amount of water.
    • Do rainwater harvesting where the water collected during raining is used for different day to day work.
    • Take the amount of water that is needed in the glass for drinking if water is still left,put it in the plants.
