    Water resources are declining due to population growth and climate change, with 40% of the world's population currently affected by water scarcity. By 2030, drought could displace 700 million people according to UN and World Bank predictions. Water conservation is important to protect this limited resource, as it keeps water clean while reducing environmental impacts. Simple changes like using efficient appliances, fixing leaks, and reducing outdoor watering can cut household water usage in half and lower water bills. Conserving water also lessens the effects of drought, guards against rising costs and conflicts over water access, and helps preserve the environment.

    What is happening with the water?

    well, water is getting depleted by population growth and climate change, freshwater

    resources available per person have decreased by more than 20% in the last two

    decades due to population growth and economic development, water scarcity

    affects approximately 40% of the world's population and, according to predictions

    by the United Nations and the World Bank, drought could put 700 million people at

    risk of displacement by 2030.

    Water problems have been among the top five hazards on the World Economic

    Forum's list of Global Risks by Impact almost every year since 2012.

    Why the water conservation is important?

    Water conservation is important because it keeps the water clean while protecting

    the environment. Conserving water means using our water supply wisely and

    responsibly. Since every person depends on water for their livelihood, we must

    learn to keep our limited water supply clean and away from contamination.

    We use water every day, it is required in almost everything we do, we need water

    for activities and habits that we use regularly.

    Pumping water from the central facility requires large amounts of energy to run the

    equipment. Studies show that in California, almost 7% of the energy consumed

    goes to transfer water. Simply put, saving water will also lead to energy savings

    and reduce your carbon footprint.

    We can start saving water by making smart choices at home. We must use

    appliances that are more efficient in water and energy. Using simple water
    conservation tips can help cut water use by more than half. Committing to a little

    effort can make all the difference. You'll even benefit from water savings from

    reduced water bills in just the first month of water savings.

    Reason to conserve water

     Minimizes the effects of drought and water scarcity. Although our need for

    fresh water sources is always increasing due to population and climate

    change, the supply we have remains constant. By reducing the amount of

    water we use, we can better protect ourselves against future years of

    drought.

     It guards against rising costs and political conflict. Failing to conserve water

    can eventually lead to a lack of an adequate water supply, which can have

    drastic consequences. These include rising costs, reduced food supplies,

    health hazards, and political conflict.

     Help preserve our environment. Reducing our water use reduces the energy

    required to process it and deliver it to homes, businesses, farms, and

    communities, which, in turn, helps reduce pollution and conserve fuel

    resources.

    10 ways to save water at home


     Turn off the tap while we brush our teeth.
     Install a dual-flush or low-flow toilet or put a conversion kit on the toilet.
     Do not over-water lawns and install rain sensors on irrigation systems.
     Plant a rain garden to catch stormwater runoff from the roof, driveway and
    other hard surfaces.
     control the use of water in the water bill
     Sharing your knowledge about saving water through conservation and
    efficiency with your friends, family, etc.
     Run the washing machine and dishwasher only when fully loaded.
     Use a low-flow showerhead and faucet aerators.
     Fix leaks.
     Iinstall a rain barrel for outdoor irrigation.
