India is the third largest exporter of groundwater, but by 21 next year, 21 major cities will be out of water, according to the report. In addition, a recent report from Niti Aayog indicates that most of India's water resources will be depleted by 2030. Although agriculture and industry make up a large part of Indian water consumption, residential use is a substantial 8%.
The situation will become much more serious if the general public does not understand the benefits of water conservation, which can help India cope with its water problems. Therefore, here are six tips that can be applied at the individual level to ensure the availability of clean water for future generations:
Use of treated water: India uses only 8% of its fresh water for domestic purposes and the remainder is used for agricultural and industrial purposes. However, much of the domestic and industrial use can be satisfied with secondary (treated) water. The treated water can be used for activities such as the unloading of toilets and the irrigation of gardens traditionally made with fresh water. By switching to treated water, we can therefore save almost seven thousand liters a year.
Laundry Reuse of water: wastewater from the laundry can be used for download, clean toilets and wash the walkways. It can be collected by connecting the drain hose to a container that holds water for other secondary purposes.
Leak Detection and Recovery: The first step in protecting the water should start at home by checking the faucets for leaks. It is easy to find and repair a leaking faucet in your home to save 3000 liters of water per year.
Resorting to collecting rainwater : Any discussion about water conservation in India is incomplete without mentioning the rainwater collection. Well, it's true for the right reasons, because India is getting its best footing to recharge its water resources. In addition, harvesting in the clouds is as easy as collecting rainwater in a container, which can save a house 100 liters per monsoon season.
Vehicle Dry Cleaning: Some of the leading Indian car companies such as Hyundai and Royal Enfield have announced the switch to "dry cleaning". It uses high pressure foam water to clean vehicles and is proven to save 60 liters of water per vehicle. The next time you find your dirty vehicle, you know where you are going.
End of Showers: These long and lazy showers have been our favorite pastime for centuries, but the availability of clean water for future ages is impaired. During these long showers we wereted about seven liters of water per minute, which is very worrying as the water table gets lower and lower. So you can opt for the bucket bath and save per household about 8,000 liters of water per year.
In conclusion, while the Indian Government is working to effectively implement the policy framework to address the current water crisis, we must also contribute to this national mission to conserve and replenish our natural water resources. , Therefore, by following the above recommendations, we can make an important contribution to preserving the "water" for future generations.
