3. INTRODUCTION
Only 1% of water available for
human consumption, doesn’t it
make sense that we
That we should treat our water
supply with more respect?

4. WATER UNIQUE RESOURCES
 Water resources are natural resources
of water that are potentially useful.
 Uses of water include agricultural,
industrial, household, recreational and
environmental activities.
 Water resources are under threat
from water scarcity, water pollution,
water conflict and climate change.

5. USE OF WATER

6. USAGEOF WATER ONREGHULARBASIS
 People use lots of water for drinking,
cooking and washing
but even more for producing things such as
food, paper and cotton cloth.
 A water footprint is an indicator that looks
at both the direct and indirect water use of
a consumer or producer.
 The water footprint of an individual,
community or business is defined as the
total volume of freshwater that is used to
produce the goods and services
consumed by the individual or community
or produced by the business.

7. What is Water Conservation
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. Climatic
Changes, Population, household size
and growth and affluence all affect
how much water is used.

8. GoalsOf WaterConversation
The goals of water conservation efforts include as
follows:
• To ensure availability for future generations, the
withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should
not exceed its natural replacement rate.
• Energy conservation. Water pumping, delivery and
waste water treatment facilities consume a significant
amount of energy. In some regions of the world over
15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to
water management.
• Habitat conservation. Minimizing human water use
helps to preserve fresh water habitats for local wildlife
and migrating waterfowl, as well as reducing the need
to build new dams and other water diversion
infrastructures.

9. WHY WATER CONSERVATION
SITUATION
• Today the earth is in the need of water
conservation as the quantity of water is
going down day by day
• Though we say that the Earth is a Blue
Planet ,the reality is that only 3% of the
total water available is fit for drinking.
• Out of that 3% also , 2.997% is locked
up in polar ice caps, and only 0.003 % is
there in form of surface & ground water

10. Water pollution is a major global
problem which requires ongoing
evaluation and revision of water
resource policy at all levels
(international down to individual
aquifers and wells). It has been
suggested that it is the leading
worldwide cause of deaths and
diseases, and that it accounts for the
deaths of more than 14,000 people
daily

11. THE REASON CONT.

13. DROUGHT
Drought is an extended period when a region notes a
deficiency in its water supply weather surface
underground water . A drought can last for months
year, or may be declared after as few as 15 days
1) When annual rain fall is below normal and less than
evaporation, drought conditions are created.
2) Unlike flood, it is not a distinct event.
3) It is often caused by the complex factor. Drought is
an extended period when a region notes a
deficiency in its water supply whether surface or
underground water. A drought can last for months or
years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days

14. DESERTIFICATION
It is the extreme deterioration of land in arid
and dry sub-humid areas due to loss of
vegetation and soil moisture
It results chiefly from man-made activities and
influenced by climatic variations.
Consequence of desertification
1. Economic loss
2. Worsening drought
3. Lowering living standards
4. Environmental refuges

15. CONFLICTSOVERWATER
Water conflict is a term describing a conflict between
countries, states, or groups over an access to water
resources.
LEVELES OF CONFLICT:
1. Local Level:
Example: Between villages or streets or houses
2. National level:
Example: Cauvery river – between Karnataka and
Tamil Nadu
3. International level:
Example: Jordan river water conflict between Sudan,
Egypt and Ethiopia.

16. DISEASEAS
MINAMATA DISEASE:CAUSED DUE TO
METHYL MERCURY CONTAMINATED
WATER.IT WAS SEEN IN JAPAN IN 1953
ITAI –ITAI:THIS DISEASE IS CAUSED
DUE TO HEAVY METAL CADMIUM.IT
WAS SEEN IN JAPAN.
FLUOROSIS:IT IS CAUSED DUE TO
EXCESS OF FLUORIDE CONTENT IN
DRINKING WATER.IT CAUSES
WEAKNING OF TEETH AND BONES.
BLUE BABY SYNDROME:IT IS CAUSED
DUE TO PRESENCE OF EXCESS OF
NITRATE IN DRINKING WATER

17. SOLUTION FOR WATER
CONSERVATION

18. RAINWATER HARVSTING FOR
• Cost less than $1500
to build
• Softer Water: 5mg/gal
of dissolved minerals
as compared to 500 in
city water.
• Cut water use by 95%
• Many use similar
system for laundry and
toilets

19. RAIN WATER HARVESTING
 Rain Water Harvesting is capturing and
storing rainfall to irrigate plants or to supply
people and animals.
 A well-designed system will also
decrease your landscape maintenance
needs.
 All you need for a water harvesting system
is rain, and a place to put it.
 A "catchment" is any large surface that
can capture and/or carry water to where it
can be used immediately or stored.

20. CONSERVATION
• Wash laundry and dishes with
sufficient amount of water only
• Always turn off running water
• Take shorter showers
• Eliminate any and all leaks
• Reduce the flow of toilets and
showerheads

21. ADVANTAGE OF WATER
CONSERVATION

22. ADVANTAGE OF WATER CONSERVATON
 I don’t think anyone can say that water
conservation has disadvantages.
 Factories produce harmful waste
products which if purified and
discarded help in keeping the
surrounding of the factories safe and
keep local residents out of health
problems.
 Rivers and lakes will remain clean.
 Hence can be used for irrigation and
cultivation purposes.

23. ADVANTAGE OF WATER CONSERVATON
 Fishes and other aquatic life forms can
breathe well in the water.
 Various treatment methods like
trickling filter method, activated sludge
process and RBC help in purifying
sewage water.
 Nitrogen and phosphorus in sewage
remains in the effluent from secondary
treatment. These inorganic nutrients
can cause eutrophication

24. ADVANTAGE OF WATER
CONSERVATON
 Saves money.
 Minimizes water pollution and health
risks.
 Protects drinking water resources.
 Reduces the need for costly water
supply and new wastewater treatment
facilities

25. CONCLUSION
 Concluding I would like to say that WATER is an
essential natural resource and a very important part
of human life and hence should be conserved.
 This will help us and our future generation to live a
longer, better and a peaceful life on this planet.
“ SAVE WATER, SAVE LIFE…! ”
