NGO’s ROLE IN WATER CONSERVATION THROUGH MODERN TECHNOLOGYDHARASANSTHAN
Water conservation encompasses the policies, strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand. Population, household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation
Water conservation is an innovative approach required to be adopted to recharge ground water. This includes check-dams, farm ponds,ponds on terraces of hills etc
A project by school students, with help from their teachers, involved research and community service to share with others the importance of every drop of water. This presentation demonstrates their efforts encouraging others to reflect on these issues and think about their role in bringing about a positive change.

1. Recharging Ground Water in Apartments
Water is essential, and it is a finite resource. Groundwater recharge is one method of water management that can help ensure an adequate water supply for future generations. Groundwater recharge occurs when water from the surface, such as rain or melted snow, seeps down into the ground and replenishes groundwater supplies. This process can happen naturally during rain, or it can be assisted through artificial means. Artificial groundwater recharge is a process whereby water is deliberately infiltrated into shallow aquifers to increase groundwater quantity. This can be done through various methods, such as injecting water into the ground or using percolation pits. The volume of water being abstracted from an aquifer over the long term mustn’t exceed the volume being recharged; otherwise, groundwater supplies will dwindle.
2. Greywater System in Apartments
Looking to save on your water bill? Consider using greywater in your home. Greywater is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures, like sinks, washing machines and showers. This type of water is generally easier to recycle than blackwater, because it contains fewer contaminants. The method and standard of treatment will depend on the size of your system. To avoid confusion with potable water, make sure all pipes and supply points in your greywater system are clearly labeled. With proper care, a greywater system can help you save up to 40% on your yearly water bill.
3. STP System/ Wastewater Recycling
Wastewater recycling is crucial for preserving our water resources. There are two main types of wastewater – greywater and blackwater. Greywater is easier to treat and recycle than blackwater, which contains harmful bacteria that can cause disease. In order to save our communities from the dangers of raw sewage, one should build wastewater treatment plants and enforce laws against its release into the environment. These treatment plants help us recycle blackwater, making it safe to use again. In recent years, it has been evident that there has been an increasing interest in wastewater reuse as a key part of water conservation efforts. If your society banded together to invest in a sewage treatment plant (STP), it could mean an end to water scarcity and the recycling of water 365 days a year. To make this happen, you would need to get consent for operation from your municipal corporation and employ qualified staff to oversee standard operating procedures. However, if you invested in an eco-friendly STP that uses anaerobic methods and requires little energy, mimicking natural processes, then you could make a huge impact without using diesel or polluting the environment.

2. Why conserve water?
1. It is a resource that is a benefit to everyone.
2. To save money. Lower consumption means lower water bills.
3. To keep rates low. Maximizing current water supplies helps defer the
need to develop new, more expensive sources of water.
4. To prepare for a drought. Many areas of the country have experienced
drought conditions in the past few years. Water conservation helps prepare
for these worst of times.
5. To comply with regulations. Many states and local regulators have
established efficient water use regulations.
3. Water conservation
Agriculture use:
Use covered or lined canals
Computer monitoring and scheduled release
Night or early morning irrigation
Use sprinklers or drip irrigation

Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth.
Low flow shower heads.
Take shorter showers.
Dishwashing: Wash all dishes at once, Then
rinse all at once.
Use Rain barrels for garden water.
Waste water from RO should be collected and
used.
5. Rain water harvesting
Rain Water Harvesting is capturing and storing
rainfall to irrigate plants or to supply people and
animals.
Rainwater harvesting prevents flooding of lowlying
areas
Rain water harvesting replenishes the ground
water table and enables our dug wells and bore
wells to yield in a sustained manner
It helps in the availability of clean water by
reducing the salinity and the presence of iron salts
8. Advantages of RWH
