- 12. What is Water Conservation? Water conservation is a practice in which people, companies, and governments attempt to reduce their water usage.
- 16. Water Quality
- 19. Make and Measure with Rain Gauge
- 20. Why Conserve Water? Water is essential to life on earth. We need water to grow food, keep clean, provide power, control fire, and last but not least, we need it to stay alive!
- 21. If water is constantly being cleaned and recycled through the earth’s water cycle, why do we need to conserve it? The answer is that people use up our planet’s fresh water faster than it can naturally be replenished.
- 22. Climate Projects on Water Conservation • Water Foot Print • Hard Changes / Easy Changes • Water Conservation & Consumption • Water Budget • Diverting Stagnant Water to Plants and Drains
- 24. Water Footprint Amount of fresh water utilized in production or supply of the goods and services used by a particular person or group
- 25. [Hoekstra & Chapagain, 2008] Food ► 1300 kg of grains (wheat, oats, barley, corn, dry peas, soybean, etc) ► 7200 kg of roughages (pasture, dry hay, silage, etc) Water ► 24000 litres for drinking ► 7000 litres for servicing. The water footprint of a cow 99% 1%
- 27. Water Footprint ► WF is an indicator of water use that looks at both direct and indirect water use of a consumer or producer. ► Measured in terms of water volumes consumed (evaporated or otherwise not returned) or polluted per unit of time. ► Space and Time indicator. ► Calculated for a process, a product, a consumer, group of consumers (e.g. municipality, province, state or nation) or a producer (e.g. a public organization, private enterprise).

- 31. Water Footprint Unit • WF of a process: water volume per unit of time. When divided over the quantity of product that results from the process, it can also be expressed as water volume per product unit. • WF of a product: water volume per product unit. o water volume per unit of mass o water volume per unit of money o water volume per piece o water volume per unit of energy (food products, fuels) • WF of a consumer or business and WF within an area: water volume per unit of time. The water footprint of a community of consumers can also be expressed in terms of water volume per unit of time per capita.

- 41. Reduce potable water consumption for landscape by 50% over a theoretical baseline design for the specific region: Successful Strategies: • Drought tolerant plants • Drip irrigation, moisture-sensing irrigation technologies • Recycled rainwater system • Municipally-provided non-potable water source use Water Use Reduction, 20% and 30% Reduction Successful Strategies: • Dual flush water closets • Ultra low-flow water closets and urinals • Waterless Urinals • Sensor-operated, Low-flow lavatories • Rainwater collection reuse systems • Grey water reuse systems Landscaping & Water use reduction
