INTRODUCTION
Waterconservationmeans using our water wisely and

caring for it properly.

Around 97% of all the water on the earth is salt water

which is not suitable for drinking. Only 3% of all the water is fresh water, and only 1% is available for drinking water. The other 2% is locked in ice caps andglaciers.
The problem of water is local as well as global.

Need for water conservation

Increasing populations, urbanization, growing

industrialization, and expanding agriculture have pushed up the demand for fresh water
Both biodiversity and human communities are

at risk. Fresh water resources are depleting at a very fast rate

Pollution of water resources is also depleting

our available water

Water Availability
In India, out of total 1% of world water only 4

% is available.
At present, Mumbai requires 3,600 million

liters per day, but the civic corporation is able to provide only 2,900 million liters per day (MLD).
Strangely, there is no shortage of water in the

city at all

Problems faced
Drinking water is distributed across the city

through pipelines that sees large quantities of wastage through leakages.

People in general are yet to come out of the

mindset that water is naturally available and hence, a free commodity

low tariff rates, the policy of subsidy and low

recovery rate as well as metering errors and billing mistakes burden the system.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING:

Two types: Surface runoff

Roof top
Methods of roof top RWH

1.Storage of direct use 2. Recharging ground water a) Recharging bore wells b) Recharge pits c) Recharge trenches d) Percolation tanks

NEW TECHNOLOGY
Faucet Aerator An aerator spreads this stream into many little

droplets. This helps save water and reduce splashing.

Greywater Greywater is wastewater generated from domestic

activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation and constructed wetlands.

OTHER

TECHNOLOGY

Faucet Aerator An aerator spreads this stream

into many little droplets, this helps save water and reduce splashing.
Automatic Faucet An automatic faucet or tap

that opens its valve to allow water to flow in response to the presence of a hand or hands in close proximity.

The simple tasks we perform every day

Check faucets and pipes for leaks regularly. Use the water efficient taps. These taps turn off automatically when not in use. Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, & then reuse it to water houseplants. Collect water from your roof to water your garden Do not over-water plants. Change begins with us, and if we lead by example, others are more likely to follow.

conclusion
In conclusion we suggest that water conservation

techniques like rainwater harvesting, grey water should be implemented immediately. It will help in conserving a lot of water.
Secondly it isnt as costly as building damns. Also its

implementation does not requires

People to lose their livelihood which is a drawback of

building damns.

Secondly people should be educated in justified use of water. Water rates should increase to make people realize importance of water. System of pipeline should be immediately replaced so no leakage occurs.
