Turn water scarcity into water abundance!

22nd March - World Day for Water

Rain water harvesting is essential because :-

Surface water is inadequate to meet our demand and we have to depend on ground water.

Due to rapid urbanization, infiltration of rain water into the sub-soil has decreased drastically and recharging of ground water has diminished.

Some Tips for water conservation:

• Use only as much water as you require.
• Close the tap well after use.
  
• While brushing your teeth do not leave the tap running, open it only when you require it.
  
• See that there are no leaking taps. Get a plumber to come in and seal all leaks.
  
• Use a washing machine that does not consume too much water.
• Do not leave the taps running while washing dishes and clothes.
  
• Install small showerheads to reduce the flow of water.
• Water in which the vegetables and fruits have been washed can be used to water the flowers and ornamental potted plants.
• At the end of the day if you have water left in your water bottle do not throw it away, pour it over some plants.
