Question

Suggest three ways to conserve water.

Answer 1

Hint: Water is a liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants. Thus, it has a need to be conserved, due to the excessive wastage after using water. In the question, the focus is on how to conserve water, and providing, in specific, three ways to save water.

Complete Answer:
Conservation refers to the preservation and careful management of the environment and of natural resources. Thus, water (a resource) conservation is being referred to in the question.
Hence, let us examine three ways to conserve water:
1 - Rainwater Harvesting - This method involves storing and maintaining the drops of fresh water that fall as precipitation from clouds by gathering them. It is used for irrigation, water for livestock, and even for drinking purposes.
2 - Start using buckets instead of showers, or tubs, and also stop the water flow from the tap while brushing.
3. Try not to use washing machines, and if using them, wash a full - load of clothes only. Half-loads lead to unnecessary wastage of water.

Thus, we can see that water can be conserved using these three suggestions.

Note: Most of the water on the earth is seawater, which has such a heavy amount of salt content that it is mostly rendered unusable. Freshwater is what is usable. However, it is in such less quantity as compared to seawater that there thus occurs a need to conserve and sustain water.
