A very good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear friends.

I am here to
speech over save water topic today on this great occasion. I would like to say thanks to my class
teacher to give such a great opportunity at this day to speech over an important topic. Water
conservation is the technique to save clean and pure water for the future use by following various
effective measures. Managing fresh water as a sustainable resource requires various strategies and
activities in order to protect life by meeting all the water demands. Reducing the level of fresh
drinking water is very serious issue for this huge worldwide population and increasing need of
people for water especially in the manufacturing and agricultural irrigation. Water conservation is
necessary to fulfills the goal of future generations. It reduces the use of energy because water
management require around 15% of the total electricity consumption. It also involve in the habitat
conservation for the local wildlife and migrating waterfowl. It reduces need of building other dams
or water diversion infrastructures.

In order to conserve fresh drinking water we need to reduce water loss, avoid damaging natural
water quality and improve water management practices. There are many water conservation
programs run by the government in order to solve the social problems related to water at the local
level (municipal water utilities or regional governments). Some common strategies are like public
outreach campaigns, reduce outdoor water use, etc.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it is estimated that if water metering is done
to everyone it will reduce water consumption by 20 to 40 %. Water metering is also necessary to
raise awareness among public that metering will surely identify and localize the water leakage
anywhere. This is the effective using which water department can easily monitor water usage by
every family in the society. There should be less water consumed by the people in various water
consuming appliances in the home like toilet flush, showers, sprinklers, fountains, washing machine,
dish washers, etc.

There should be water-saving technology in the home appliances like low-flow shower heads (also
called energy-efficient shower heads), low-flush toilets, composting toilets, dual flush toilets (uses
almost 67% less water than the conventional toilets), faucet aerators, raw water flushing (toilets
using sea water or non-purified water), water reuse or recycling of water, rainwater harvesting,
clothe washers with high-efficiency, weather-based irrigation controllers, garden hose nozzles, low
flow taps everywhere, covered swimming pool to reduce water evaporation, automatic faucet,
water less urinals, water less car washing, etc reduces water consumption to a great extent and can
save more water if used on daily basis in all houses. Agricultural appliances used by the farmers
should also be of water-saving technology to reduce water consumption while irrigating crops.

Thank You
Good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. I would like to speech
on a very important topic “save water” today at this special occasion. As well all know that how the
water is important for the continuation of life on the earth. It is the most basic need of everyone
(human being, animal, plant and other microorganisms). Water is the unique source of life, without
water we cannot imagine the life here. Life on other planets is not possible just because of the
absence of water. It is considered as the most important among other known celestial bodies.
Almost three-fourth area of the earth is covered by the water and it constitutes around 60-70 % of
the living world. It seems that water is endless renewable source on the earth because it is
regenerated and redistributed all over the earth through evaporation and rain. It arises a question in
our mind that if water is renewable source then why we should worry for water and try to conserve
it.

Here are some tips which really will help us to save water:

• We should use water according to the need and requirement and never over-water our lawn
they need watering every 5 to 7 days (summer season), every 10 to 14 days (winter season) and
almost not in the rainy season.

• We should water the lawns especially in the early morning or late evening because due to
the low temperature and low wind speed it can not be lost through evaporation and totally used by
the plants.

• We should not water the streets, driveways or sidewalks, all are wastage of water.

• We should use water-efficient methods of irrigation (micro and drip irrigation, soaker hoses,
etc) while sprinkling over plants or other place.

• If a lawn cut higher, it encourages roots of the plants go deeper and holds more soil
moisture thus require less water from outside.

• We should never fertilizes (or only sometimes according to need) our lawns because it
increases the need of more water.

• Sprinklers or hoses can not be left unattended as they may loss approximately 600 gallons of
water in few hours.

• Car washing should be done on the green ground or lawn otherwise prefer commercial car
wash as they recycles water.

• We should avoid ornamental water features like fountains in the lawn as show piece.

• There should be filter system in the individual swimming pools.

• Mulching technique also helps plants to retain soil moisture for long time.

• We should try to plant some native and drought resistant plants, grasses, ground covers and
shrubs in the lawns as they do not need more water to survive.

• There should not be any leakage in the water pipes in the home and in case of leakage, hose
washers can be used between spigots and water hoses.

• We should not waste water by draining it without purpose. All the taps should be closed
properly to avoid unnecessary water drainage.
• Do not waste water by irrigating lawns unnecessarily. Lawn needs water every 5 to 7 days in
the summer whereas every 10 to 14 days in winter.

• People should verify that home is leak-free while buying home.

• All the dripping taps should be repaired soon through replacing washers as they may loss
around 2,700 gallons of water per year.

• Toilet tank leaks should be checked time to time by using food coloring to the tank (if there
is leakage it would appear within few min).

• Never flush toilet or use showers for long time unnecessarily because there may be huge
water loss.

• People should use only required amount of water bathing or washing clothes.

• Do not destroy water while washing hands, brushing teeth or washing face on the basin, it is
good to use mug water or keep close the tap while rubbing hands with soap, cleaning teeth or
washing face.

• Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers should be operated only when fully loaded in
order to save water.

• Everyone should store drinking water for long time in the big container instead of using tap
run every time.
