Methods to Conserve Water

Methods to Conserve Water: Water pollution has to be brought under control. For this it is essential to treat effluents suitably before discharging them into water bodies. Afforestation will not only help reduce run off, but also replenish underground water by enabling percolation.

The management and conservațion of water resources includes

  • Integrated water shed plan for drinking, irrigation and industrial uses
  • Rainwater harvesting(by constructing tanks and percolation pits) is another method to conserve water by saving surface runoff.
  • Scientific and regulated irrigational methods will prevent wastage of water.
  • Flood control
  • Transfer of surplus water to water deficit basins by interlinking of rivers
  • Hydrogeological survey to recognise over exploited areas
  • Artificial recharging of the ground water
  • Mass awareness programmes through public/private agencies.
