survival and without water there would be no life. Drinking water should
be clean that means it should be free from microorganisms, free from
harmful chemical and other pollutants. Consuming unsafe drinking water
may lead to several water borne diseases, and other long term and
chronic health problems. Water conservation encompasses the policies,
strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable
resource to protect the water environment and to meet current and future
human demand. Water conservation in simple words, is an effort to save
water and ultimately save the planet. Water conservation is needed to
protect the ecosystem and to restore its fast deterioration and to
overcome the threats of environmental degradation, to meet the
unavoidable emergency of shortage for drinking and domestic water in
near future.
