Social Considerations

Less than 0.08% of all the Earth's water is

available for biological life. Yet over the next

two decades human use is estimated to

increase by about 40%.

Local Government Act requires thinking

sustainably across the four pillars of

1. Treadle Pump

It may sound like a wonky Dr. Seuss creation, but the treadle pump is actually an easy-to-use, lightweight device that quickly brings underground

water to the surface. By pumping on a foot pedal, farmers can lift water from nearly 30 feet below the surface, replacing the need for expensive

motorized pumps that require fossil fuels to operate. One of the most popular and effective versions of the pump was developed byInternational

Development Enterprises (IDE), which uses pressure to drive the water out, allowing farmers to spray water and run sprinklers without the need

of elevated storage tanks. First introduced in Zambia, the IDE treadle pumps and similar designs are used widely throughout parts of Africa and

Asia, allowing farmers to extend the growing season, diversify crops, and increase their harvest without having to wait for monsoon season.

2. Water HarvestingWater harvesting is a great example of farmers reconnecting to long-forgotten ancient agricultural traditions. Facing years of drought, many

countries in sub-Saharan Africa are utilizing water-harvesting techniques that help conserve water and better manage the rainfall that they do

get. In Sudan, farmers are using chisel plows to create trenches and dust shields that concentrate rainfall into ditches, which can then be used to

direct the water as needed. These trenches, along with other similar methods like spate irrigation for areas prone to flood, help farmers turn

what might otherwise be a hindrance into a means of increasing food production.

3. Rope Pump

What the treadle can't pump, the rope can. The original technology for a rope pump dates back more than 2,000 years, but communities are

finding that slight modifications allow for better access to deep water sources. The rope pump uses a rope (surprise!) knotted with washers that

push water up and out of a long tube from nearly 120 feet below the surface. There are an estimated 100,000 rope pumps in use todayaround

the world, including in Nicaragua, Cambodia, India, and throughout Africa. While most rope pumps use a hand crank to draw the water up, new

variations utilize a foot-operated system that look like stylish, recumbent bicycles.

4. Drip Irrigation

Not unlike my soaker hose, drip irrigation delivers a steady trickle of water directly to the roots of plants through a series of small plastic tubing,

allowing farmers to conserve and maximize their water source. Collected water is typically stored in elevated tanks or storage bags, which make

the most of gravity to deliver water to the crops. According to Daniel Wild, senior equity analyst at Sustainable Asset Management in

Switzerland, drip irrigation systems cut water demand by about half when compared to spray or flood irrigation methods. They also increase crop

yields by up to 150 percent and cut the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Sounds like a great trade-off to me.

5. Water Storage Systems

We may not be fans of storing water in plastic bottles, but storing it in massive plastic bags is another story. Water storage bags another

innovation developed by IDE allow farmers to store water that has been harvested from rain or other sources. The bags vary in size, and can

either be stored on the ground or hung from an elevated location to allow for drip irrigation (see above). They also have the added bonus of

being much lighter and cheaper (and I suspect cleaner) than old oil drums that are often used for water storage. The bags not only ensure water

and food security for farmers, they enable them to increase crop yields.

Rather than ignore this growing threat, we can and must address it proactively, taking steps now

to guard against a devastating water crisis as we ought to have done against the financial crisis

Water Conservation Methods / What You Can Do

Turn off water while you are brushing your teeth and open it when you need to rinse yourmouth.

Take shallow baths and plug the drain before you run water. Keep showers short with pressure

at low force. Re-use bath water to water your lawn or shrubs or for heavy cleaning jobs like

floors or cars.

Install Dual Flush toilets in the home... more on this below.

Buy the washing machines or dishwashers that have AAA ratings and that are ranked as energy

efficient.

Get rain tanks and collect the rainwater in them. That water can be used for gardening andwashing cars.

Use mulch around the trees and plants in your lawn. This keeps in moisture longer so that use

will need less water to keep your lawn and plants healthy.

Water Conservation Methods / How Industries Can Help

Water conservation also needs to be addressed at an industrial level.

Some of the ways that can be implemented in industries to conserve water are:

Conduct regular surveys and examinations to find out the ways for conserving water. Also

conduct awareness programs at an employee level.

Dont use water where it is unnecessary like, washing driveways, washing trucks frequently,

etc. These things can be done with less water or without using any water.

It is a good idea to install high-pressure but low volume spray nozzles on spray washers.

Reuse water when it is discharged from various processes.

Check the efficiency of your water equipment on regular basis.

Huge amounts of water are lost every year due to unattended faucet leaks, using outdated

appliances, excessive clothes washing, showering, washing cars, gardening, and other everyday

household activities.

Water Conservation Solutions / Simple Things You Can Do

Take shorter showers.

Close the tap at once after using the water.

While brushing, only open the tap when you need water.

Do not over-water plants.

Wash your car less frequently and use smaller amounts of water, oruse no water when you

wash your car.

Fix leaky pipes immediately upon discovery.

Slow the flow of water to consume less water, using less energy.

Operate the washing machine only when you have a full load of laundry.

Dont throw towels in the laundry after only one use.

Run your dishwasher only when you have a full load.

These are some ideas to conserve water. Now, lets look at what solutions are available on themarket that could hel ou use less water.

1. Taking Quick Showers

Apart from making use of water-saving shower heads, take quick showers. Showers use about

20 liters of water per minute. Shortening your shower time to 3 minutes can allow you to save

up to 140 liters of water daily.

2. Looking Out for Leaks

Have leaks fixed right away. One dripping faucet can waste over 7,500 liters of water each yearand one leaky toilet can waste over 750 liters each day.

3. Turning Off the Tap

Don't leave your faucet running whenever you brush your teeth or soap your hands. Leaving the

tap on wastes 10 to 20 liters of water per minute. By keeping it off, you can save at least 30 liters

of water daily.

4. Improving Your ToiletIf you can't install low-flush toilets or a composting toilet, position a water-filled one-gallon

bottle inside your tank. This bottle will replace the same amount of water each time your tank

fills and will allow you to save up to 20,000 liters of water each year.

5. Keeping Trash from the Toilet

Many people use the toilets to flush down garbage. However, one flush actually wastes 10 to 20

liters of water. By flushing only when necessary, much water can be saved. There are manycomposting toilet choices for even better efficiency.

6. Washing Only Full Loads

Using water-efficient washing machines is not enough. Make it a habit to run them only when

they contain full loads to save a significant amount of water. The same is true for dishwashers.

7. Gardening Intelligently

Apart from using hoses with shut-off nozzles, consider landscapes and gardens that do not

require much water to thrive. Also, water your plants during the coldest times of the day so youdon't waste much to evaporation. If you use sprinklers, set them properly so they don't reach

sidewalks or walkways. Better yet, try catching rainwater and use what you collect to water your

lawn.

8. Covering Your Pool

If you have a pool, get a cover. Pools can lose up to 4,000 liters of water a month due to

evaporation. A pool cover can reduce that loss by ninety percent.9. Using a Broom

Whenever your driveway requires cleaning, use a broom rather than a hose. By doing this, you

can save as much as 300 liters of water.

10. Using a Bucket

Wash your car using buckets of water. Running a hose uses about 30 liters of water each minute.

Limiting yourself to 1 to 2 buckets will surely save a lot of water. Better yet, use ecologically safewaterless carwash products.

International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on

the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater

resources. An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United

Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General

Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

The theme for World Water Day 2011 is Water For Cities: responding to urban challenge.

You use it every day in every way possible. But how much do you appreciate the finer points of

the liquid that sustains life? How well do you know about water? Are you a responsible person

who is aware of issues related to water and believes in conserving water? Or do you need to

know Beware! Water is not forever SAVE WATER!!!!!! SAVE WATER!!!!!!

AFTER SOME YEARS IF WE DO NOT CONSERVE WATER MANY LOSSES WILL BE HAPPEN . ONE OF

THOSE IS HERE:

1 Check faucets and pipes for leaks
