2. WATER
 Chemical Compound
 Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world's streams, lakes, oceans
and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things.
 Density: 999.97 kg/m³
 Triple point temperature: 0.01 °C
 Formula: H2O
 Melting point: 0 °C
 Boiling point: 100 °C
 Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol
 IUPAC ID: Water, Oxidane

3. Water conservation
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.

4. Why we need water conservation?
 Reducing water waste.
 Protecting the clean water we have. If water is polluted by harmful
chemicals or garbage, we can’t use it to drink, bathe in or water crops.
 Helping water management plants minimize the amount of water they need
to use on a daily basis.
 Encouraging companies to make devices that do not use as much water as
they did before.

5. Ways to save water
 Don’t leave the water running when you wash your hands, brush your teeth
or take a shower. Turn it off when you are not using it.
 Not flushing the toilet when you don’t need.
 Taking short showers.
 Using a bucket to wash your bike or your parent’s car instead of leaving the
hose running.
 Watering the garden in the early morning or the evening, instead of during
the day.
 Collecting rain water in a bucket. You can’t drink rain water but if the
bucket is clean you can use it to fill an outdoor pool to play in in the
summer. You can also use rainwater to water your yard or wash a car or
bike.

6. CONT….
 Raw water flushing.
 Wastewater reuse.
 Rainwater harvesting.
 High-efficiency clothes washers.
 Weather-based irrigation controllers.
 Automatic faucet.
 Waterless urinals.
 Waterless car washes.
 Infrared or foot-operated taps, which can save water by using
short bursts of water for rinsing in a kitchen or bathroom.

7. CONT….
 Pressurized water brooms, which can be used instead of a hose to clean
sidewalks.
 X-ray film processor re-circulation systems.
 Cooling tower conductivity controllers.
 Water-saving steam sterilizers, for use in hospitals and health care
facilities.
 Water to Water heat exchangers.

8. LATEST TECHNIQUE
 The technique ensure that the designer desired payback period is satisfied
using Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening
(SHARPS) technique.
 The cost effective minimum water network is a holistic framework/guide
for water conservation.

9. GOALS
The goals of water conservation efforts include as follows:
 To ensure availability for future generations, the withdrawal of fresh water
from an ecosystem should not exceed its natural replacement rate.
 Energy conservation- Water pumping, delivery and waste water treatment
facilities consume a significant amount of energy. In some regions of the
world over 15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to water
management.
 Habitat conservation- Minimizing human water use helps to preserve fresh
water habitats for local wildlife and migrating waterfowl, as well as
reducing the need to build new dams and other water diversion
infrastructures.
 Save water save the future generations.

10. CONCLUSIONS
In implementing water conservation principles there are a number of key
activities that may be beneficial.
 Any beneficial reduction in water loss, use and waste of resources.
 Avoiding any damage to water quality.
 Improving water management practices that reduce or enhance the
beneficial use of water
