By- Divya Chauhan IX-A Water conservation Water conservation can be defined as:
• Any beneficial reduction in water loss, use or waste.
• A reduction in water use accomplished by implementation of water conservation or water efficiency measures; or, • Improved water management practices management that reduce or enhance the beneficial use of water. • A water conservation measure is an action, behavioural change, device, technology, or improved design or process implemented to reduce water loss, waste, or use. Water efficiency is a tool of water conservation. Why do we need water management?
• We need to save water as it results in more efficient water use and
thus reduces water demand. • The value and cost-effectiveness of a water efficiency measure must be evaluated in relation to its effects on the use and cost of other natural resources (e.g. energy or chemicals) •To ensure availability for future generations, the withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should not exceed its natural replacement rate . • Water pumping, delivery, and wastewater treatment facilities consume a significant amount of energy. In some regions of the world (for example, California) over 15% of total electricity consumption is devoted to water management. • 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 infrastructure . How to save water ? 1)HOUSE HOLD APPLICATIONS :- • Low-flow shower heads sometimes called energy-efficient shower heads as they also use less energy, due to less water being heated. • Low-flush toilets and composting toilets. These have a dramatic impact in the developed world, as conventional Western toilets use large volumes of water. • Dual-flush toilets created by caroma includes two buttons or handles to flush different levels of water. Dual flush toilets use up to 67% less water than conventional toilets. • Saline water (sea water) or rain water can be used for flushing toilets. • Faucet aerators, which break water flow into fine droplets to maintain "wetting effectiveness" while using less water. An additional benefit is that they reduce splashing while washing hands and dishes. • Wastewater reuse or recycling systems, allowing: – Reuse of gray water for flushing toilets or watering gardens, and – Recycling of wastewater through purification at a water treatment plant. See also wastewater reuse. • Rainwater harvesting • High-efficiency cloth washing • Weather-based irrigation controllers • Garden hose nozzles that shut off water when it is not being used, instead of letting a hose run. • Automatic faucet is a water conservation faucet that eliminates water waste at the faucet. It automates the use of faucets without the using of hands. 2)COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS • Waterless urinals. • Waterless car washes. • Infrared or foot-operated faucets, which can save water by using short bursts of water for rinsing in a kitchen or bathroom. • 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. 3)Agricultural applications • For crop irrigation, optimal water efficiency means minimizing losses due to evaporation, runoff or subsurface drainage. • An evaporation pan can be used to determine how much water is required to irrigate the land. • Flood irrigation , the oldest and most common type, is often very uneven in distribution, as parts of a field may receive excess water in order to deliver sufficient quantities to other parts. • Overhead irrigation , using centre-pivot or lateral-moving sprinklers, gives a much more equal and controlled distribution pattern. • Drip irrigation is the most expensive and least-used type, but offers the best results in delivering water to plant roots with minimal losses. We need to conserve water because “it is the driver of the nature.”
If you do not believe ,let me
show you our dark future where, there is no water……… THIS IS OUR WORLD AFTER 50 YEARS……… There will be not enough water to drink – would lead to severe kidney problems……..
Towels and oil would be used to clean the
body…….. All the rivers, lakes, dams and underground water beds are either dry or contaminated……………………… Industries would come virtually to a standstill and unemployment reached dramatic proportions……….. And people will have no good work to do…. The outside appearance of the people would be horrible: wrinkled, emaciated bodies due to dehydration….. And skin cancer will be the main cause of death. People would have to pay for the air they breathe……….
And those who could not pay, would be expelled from the “ventilated zones” with huge mechanical lungs driven by solar power…………. And then the aged people would not stop feeling guilty, because they belonged to the generation which contributed to the destruction of the environment…………
And the price would be paid by the youth
So, save water , save life !!!!!
As water crisis is one of the major issues that the world is facing and it is the responsibility, perhaps the duty of each one of us to contribute towards water management. Intelligent utilisation of water resources is the need of the hour.
