Importance of Saving Water
Water is one of the most important resources we have on our planet. All living beings, such as animals, plants, and humans, need water for the proper functioning on their systems. Water has various importance in everyone’s lives, but today, due to the involvement of factories and chimneys waste the water of the seas and oceans are getting polluted.
Even though we have a lot of rivers and oceans but the water they have is very salty and contains garbage and harmful chemicals that come from the factories 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. We can reuse water in as many ways as possible and should save it from getting polluted.. Some of the ways of saving the water from getting polluted are:-
• Dispose of toxic chemicals properly.
• Do Not Pour Fat and Grease Down the Drain
• Use Phosphate-Free Detergent and Dish Cleaner
• Dispose of Medical Waste Properly.
• Report water polluters
• Lessen down meat consumption.
• Eat more organic food.
• Wash your car or outdoor equipment where it can flow to a grassed area instead of a street.
• Don’t pour your motor oil down the storm drain. Take it to the nearest auto parts store.
• Pick up litter and throw it away in a garbage can.
• Go for non-toxic and biodegradable cleansers.
• Avoid plastic containers and go for steel or fibre containers.
• Make sure to clear your water tanks regularly and use alum.
• Do not let the garbage or toxic chemicals from the factories go to the seas and oceans.
• Do not waste water. Try to reuse as much as possible, like bathing a pet in the lawn so that the water gets absorbed by the grass.

Though planet Earth is a blue planet but we feel a scarcity of water. In metro cities, water is available only one time only. The groundwater level has also decreased. So rainwater harvesting is a great step to conserve water for further use. Rainwater is natural falling water, it can be stored for further usage like planting, mopping, washing vehicles, and many more. In earlier times, people used to store rainwater in large containers for further use, as there was no availability of taps and pumps at every house. Water, water everywhere where but nothing to drink because water is brutally polluted in cities. Also, air pollution will cause acid rain. So we need to minimize air pollution and water pollution as well. Through water harvesting, we can also conserve water as rainwater will not be wasted. That’s why we need to conserve rainwater.
Hope you will be satisfied with my answer.
Thank you!

Water is the basic need of the individual for Survival. Some of the things, like oxygen, water, and food, are very essential for the individual to live. After the oxygen, water is very much important for the individual’s survival and for the whole environment as well. Water is used daily for many activities like drinking, cleaning, watering, and also for some electrical purposes etc.
There is plenty of water in the seas, but it is of no use it. Because all the seawater is salty and not food for drinking purposes. They can be made for drinking by some of the beautification methods, which take lots of processes and also time. Scarcity of water is not only India’s problem but also a global problem.
If the wasteage of water is continued in the same way, there will be a day when no water can be found for drinking purposes and for some of the utility purposes. Most of people waste water without any need. Using water for the purposes is all good, but wasting the water without any reason is a bad habit that an individual must not develop. It is very easy to waste water rather than save a drop.
The best method to save water is to use it in limited amounts. That is, to limit the water without wasting much water.

Water is one of the basic requirements without which living beings cannot survive. Our earth is known as the blue planet because it constitutes of 71% of the water bodies, but the fact is that only a mere 0.03% of water is available as fresh water which can be directly used by living beings for their needs other 99.7% of water is either salty water of the see or are solidifies in the form of ice in the ice caps. With water pollution in action, the scarcity of water has reached new heights, and at this point of time, the most necessary thing is to save water.
There are multiple ways by which we can save water:
1) Turn off taps when not in use, use a mug to brush teeth, and do not leave the tap open during the time of brushing. Also, adopting methods of using a bucket and a mug to bathe and avoiding taking showers will help in the same.
2) Reuse water, use the water used for washing fruits and vegetables to water plants.
3) Wastes should be treated to make it free from toxins before dumping them into water, and the action of dumping wastes into water should be avoided.
