What is Water Conservation?


Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently to reduce 

unnecessary water usage. water conservation is important because 

fresh clean water is a limited resource, as well as a costly one. As a 

homeowner, you’re probably already well aware of the financial costs of 

inefficient water use. Conservation of this natural resource is critical for 

the environment — and our wallets.






Here are 10 easy ways to conserve water at home,

  1. Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth.
  2. Only run the washing machine and dishwasher when you have a full load.
  3. Use a low flow shower head and faucet aerators.
  4. Fix leaks.
  5. Install a dual flush or low flow toilet or put a conversion kit on your existing toilet.
  6. Don’t overwater your lawn or water during peak periods, and install rain sensors on irrigation systems.
  7. Install a rain barrel for outdoor watering.
  8. Plant a rain garden for catching stormwater runoff from your roof, driveway, and other hard surfaces.
  9. Monitor your water usage on your water bill and ask your local government about a home water audit.
  10. Share your knowledge about saving water through conservation and efficiency with your neighbors.

It had a pipe going down through the floor, perhaps tapping a source of water deep under-ground. He began working the hand pump, but no water came out. He kept at it and still nothing happened. Finally he gave up from exhaustion and frustration. He threw up his han...

STORY: Adjara, 12, the eldest of five children, saw her life change when a finished water point was installed only a few feet away from her house as part of a larger UNICEF pilot project for about 4,000 people living in a remote, desolate region of Burkina Faso. This pilot project not only brings clean, safe water to the community, but also employment. Three teams — each with four to five community members — have received training in manual drilling. Fatouma, Adjara’s mother says: “The water tastes so much better now. You just can’t compare it.

Once an hour, Esa’s older siblings had to walk a long way to the camp’s central water tank. They carried water back in plastic containers. Sometim...
