You all will be aware of the fact that the 3/4th surface of our planet is covered by water but only 2% of water is consumable.   86 percent of Asia’s freshwater is being utilized for multiple purposes such as agriculture,  industrial establishment, and domestic uses. 

Water plays the most vital role in our lives as it's a God-gifted natural element that is necessary for the growth of life on our planet.  But in the past few years, we can easily detect freshwater shortages globally. The time has come when we should start following some ideal measures that can resolve the world’s water shortage problems. Otherwise, there will be a shortage of consumable water for everyone and without freshwater, we can not imagine the existence of life. 

Today in this blog post we are going to discuss some methods that you can start practicing in your daily life to avoid water wastage.

So let's get started…

But it's time to understand why we should start limiting our water use. As per the current situation, due to excessive use of water, the groundwater is depleting which is not good for our planet. Without this natural resource, no life will be grown. Humans have already polluted a larger quantity of water and the world has started experiencing a deficiency of freshwater resources.  However, we can still the current situation of water shortage, all we need to  understand the importance of water and avoid its wastage. 

Tips for Avoiding Water Wastage:

How Can We Save Water? 

Natural resources of water are limited in numbers. So we should be careful while using these natural options. Too much exploitation of these resources can be quite harmful to us.  Rainwater harvesting is one of the most popular and effective water storage techniques that can be quite helpful for balancing groundwater levels.  

It is a very simple yet effective technique that tells us to collect water from various platforms and surfaces so that we can restore the water and use it for later use.  This technique has been practiced since ancient times. Over the past few years, this method of water storage has gained significant popularity because it allows us to use every single drop of water so that we can recharge the groundwater level and balance the freshwater percentage. 

Conclusion

In a nutshell, we can say water is one of those elementary elements that are necessary for life. Freshwater resources are dying slowly due to the carelessness of human beings.
