Less than 1% of the earth’s water supply can be used for drinking.


Leaving the tap running while you clean your teeth can waste nine litres of water.


A five minute shower uses about a third of the water of a bath, saving up to 400 litres per week.


About 74% of home water usage is in the bathroom, about 21% is for laundry and cleaning, and about 5% is in the kitchen.

When YOU use water wisely,

  • You are helping the environment.
  • You are saving the energy that the water supplier used to treat the water that has been used up.
  • You are saving our pocket money. 

We all know that water is very precious for every living organisms as they depend and need water to stay alive on Earth. In order to survive, we have to conserve water as day by day people used up our planet's fresh water than it can naturally be replenished. Don't you agree?




#1
There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.

#2
When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

#3
Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings.

#4
Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.

#5
Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.



Water is essential to life on earth. We need water to grow food, keep clean, provide power, control fire, and last but not least, we need it to stay alive.If water is constantly being cleaned and recycled through the earth’s water cycle, why do we need to conserve it? The answer is that people use up our planet’s fresh water faster than it can naturally be replenished.
To provide enough clean fresh water for people, water is cleaned before it is used. And after water is used, it is cleaned again at or by before being put back into the environment.
Saving water is good for the earth, your family, and your community.REALLY?.

All the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
Unto the place from whence the rivers come,
Thiter they return again.

                                                           Eccleesiastes 1:7


Water,said the Greek philosopher Pindar,as early as the fifth century B.C.,is the best of all things.It may perhaps be an overstatement sur ,but it is certainly not suprising,especially when it is considered that it has been one of the most PRECIOUS commodities throughout man's recorded history.Water makes life(human,animal or plant)in the biosphere possible,and without it life and civilization can not develop or survive.Wars have beeen fought in then past over the availability of water ,and water,and even now relations between several countries are strained due to disputeds over management of shared water resources.

Are you believe this statement?Its hard to accept.
But its will be a fact if the predictable and statistics of world population are revealed.
Water is essential to life and we depend on it,yet many people use water for granted.
As the population of the world increases,and with it the demand for water,so,with no doubt,growing concern that our water supplies will not prove adequate are become reality?
