Water covers 70% of the Earth's surface but is becoming scarcer due to overexploitation and economic development deteriorating water quality. To ensure food security, health, livelihoods and ecosystem preservation, we must conserve water through integrated water resource management, multi-purpose river projects, rainwater harvesting and bamboo drip irrigation systems.

3. •Water covers around 70% of the Earth’s surface.
What makes
it Water

4. Water Scarcity

5. Reasons of this
Overexploitation
Deteriorating Quality:
Adverse Effect of Economic
Development
Hydroelectric Power
River Pollution

6. Need to
conserve it
• To safeguard from
health hazard
• To ensure food
security
• To continue our
livelihood
• To preserve the
ecosystem

7. MULTI-PURPOSE RIVER PROJECTS
AND INTEGRATED WATER
RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Dams:

9. RAINWATER HARVESTING
• Roof top rain water is collected using a PVC pipe
• Filtered using sand and bricks
• Underground pipe takes water to sump for
immediate usage
• Excess water from the sump is taken to the well
• Water from the well recharges the underground
• Take water from the well (later)

11. Harvesting System
Broadly rainwater can
be harvested for two
purposes
Storing rainwater for
ready use in containers
above or below
ground
Charged into the soil
for withdrawal later
(groundwater
recharging)

12. A New Method For
Water Conservation
• BAMBOO DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM
