Water is essential for survival but is becoming scarce as the global population grows. Only 1% of the world's water is easily accessible for drinking. Many regions already face water scarcity due to lack of access to safe, clean water (quality scarcity) or insufficient water supplies (quantity scarcity). If current trends continue, more than 3 billion people may suffer from water shortages by 2025. Small changes like turning off the tap while brushing teeth can save over 200 liters of water per month. It's important to conserve water to ensure future generations have enough for basic needs.

1. SAVE WATER
SAVE LIFE

3. Water covers 71% of Earth’s surface and essential for survival
On Earth, water is found mostly in oceans and other
large water bodies
 1.6 % water below ground in aquifers
 0.001 % in the air as vapor, clouds, and precipitation
97% of surface water contained in oceans, 2.4% polar ice caps and glaciers, 0.6% other land
surface water like ponds river and lakes.

4. WATER SCARCITY
Lack of access to
safe water (Quality)
Water scarcity
defined as
Lack of Enough
Water (Quantity)
Economic Scarcity
In developing country, finding a reliable source of safe water is not only expensive but time-consuming as well.
This is considered as Economic Scarcity.
Physical Scarcity
It many areas, water can be easily found, it just requires resources to do it. But in some areas water is not
enough. This is considered as Physical Scarcity.

5. VALUE OF WATER
We all need three for survival i.e Oxygen, Water, and Food. In India, there is a shortage of
clean water in many places like Delhi, Bihar, and U. P etc.
 Less than 1% of water is suitable for drinking
 More than 1 billion people around the globe survive on
just over 4 liters of water per day
 It is estimated that more than 3 billion people may suffer
from water shortage by 2025

6. WATER FACTS
98%
of water-related
diseases occur in
developing countries
More than
4 million
people die due to water
borne diseases
women in Asia and Africa have
to walk around 37 miles to
collect water. In rural villages
this time span increases
Considering India, waterborne
diseases costs economy
almost 3 million working
days per year.
Every 15 seconds,
a child die of water
borne diseases
Here is a small example - It takes around 300 liters of water to make paper for one Sunday newspaper. So use
paper only when needed. Prefer alternative sources like E-mails, messages, electronic sources.

7. Water Saving Tactics - Ways to
Save Water without changing
your Lifestyle

8. SAVING WATER AT THE SINK
 Turn off the water while you brush your teeth
 Turn off the water while you wash your hands.
 To wash your hands effectively and use less water. First, fill the palm
of one hand with water and turn off the water. Add soap and lather
well. Turn on the water and rinse quickly. By allowing the water to run
while you wash your hands you waste more than three times the
water than if you turn off the water while you wash your hands.

9. SAVE WATER IN THE TOILET
 Consider purchasing a low flush toilet or converting a standard
toilet to low flush.
 Follow the water saving rule in your bathroom:
"If it's yellow, let it mellow; if
it's brown, flush it down!"
While this strategy is repellant to many, it is a safe, water-
saving alternative that is practiced in many countries.

10. SAVE WATER IN THE SHOWER
 Install a low-flow shower head and always keep
your showers as short as possible.
 If you take a bath do not fill the tub up any higher
than necessary.
 Consider saving the water for your plants.

11.  Use your washing machine only when it is filled to its total capacity. This saves about
4500 liters per month.
 Avoid using a shower for bathing. Use bucket instead. This saves about 150-200 liters
every day.
 Turn off the tap while brushing. This saves more than 200 liters of water every month.
 Use sprinklers to water the plants provided you have a large garden.
 Ensure that your home has no leakages.
 Check whether all the water bottles are closed properly.
 Stop participating in Water Holi.
Whenever you waste water, just think about those millions of people who
struggle to save every drop of water for their survival.
Last but not the least, spread awareness regarding water conservation.
