The document discusses sustainable management and use of water. Over 80 million more people are added to the global population each year, placing increasing demands on water resources. Agriculture and increasing meat consumption in countries like China also impact water usage. Two million tons of human waste is dumped into rivers daily. Individuals can help by planting drought-tolerant plants and using water-efficient appliances. Organizations in places like Las Vegas recycle water from hotels through advanced filtration systems. The government implements initiatives around limiting outdoor watering and pricing to encourage conservation.

Hotels however manage water sustainably in a ‘toilet

reclamation plant in Las Vegas. Water filtered out
using filters and even UV lights. Recycled water then
fills the 8 acre lake outside the Bellagio.
Hotels also use water saving strategies like
centralised washing with giant machines that use
75% less water than normal ones.
