Ways To Save Water

The world is at a stage where the amount of water that can be used is shrinking alarmingly. According to some estimates in the next 50 years, the growth in the world population will lead to the decrease in drinking water by 40%, which will further decrease if the current rate of wastage continues. Though it seems that the earth is surrounded by water, it is only a small percentage that is usable and most of this is locked in glaciers and ice caps. Of this usable water, only a tiny percentage is drinkable and so you can understand why we need to save water, cutting down on all wastages. Another reason to save water is that to convert water into usable or drinking condition requires enormous expense and the use of other natural resources. The more you waste, the more negative impact it has on the environment. Now the water is being used faster than it can be replenished and so two-thirds of the population is left without safe drinking water. Consider this, the simple act of keeping the tap turned off while brushing saves around 25 gallons of water a month. That is why, it is necessary that we save every drop so that one day humanity doesn’t vanish because of the lack of a single drop. In the article given below are the various ways in which you can save water.
