The Key to Sustainable Water Management: 10 WAYS

The challenges to water conservation are manifold and deep. Some of the most deep rooted issues in sustainable water conservation include water scarcity, groundwater depletion, irrigation challenges and water pollution. Implementation of Water Conservation Resources optimises water use, conserves water and ensures sustainable water availability. There are several water conservation resources. Drip irrigation is an effective micro irrigation method where water directly reaches plant roots. Rainwater harvesting is also one way to store and channel rainwater. Groundwater recharge using infiltration basins and dams can also be done. Artificial groundwater recharge is used to increase the amount of water entering the aquifer using human control methods. Water aquifers are the earth’s layers that can hold water due to their porous and permeable nature, which need replenishing. Several other methods include high pressure recharge wells, johads, grey water recycling, water metres and pressure reducing valves.
