MAKE A SUMMARY APPROACH IDEAS ABOUT THIS TOPIC WE WILL HAVE A SHORT
REPORTING ABOUT THIS TOPIC NEXTWEEK INDIVIDIUALLY :
Water sanitation conservation
What’s the goal here?
To ensure access to safe water sources and sanitation for all.
Why?
Access to water, sanitation and hygiene is a human right, yet billions are still faced with
daily challenges accessing even the most basic of services. Around 1.8 billion people globally use
a source of drinking water that is fecally contaminated. Some 2.4 billion people lack access to
basic sanitation services, such as toilets or latrines. Water scarcity affects more than 40 per cent
of the global population and is projected to rise. More than 80 per cent of wastewater resulting
from human activities is discharged into rivers or sea without any treatment, leading to pollution.
What are the effects of this?
Water and sanitation related diseases remain among the major causes of death in children
under five; more than 800 children die every day from diarrhoeal diseases linked to poor hygiene.
Proper water and sanitation is a key foundation for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals,
including good health and gender equality. By managing our water sustainably, we are also able
to better manage our production of food and energy and contribute to decent work and economic
growth. Moreover, we can preserve our water ecosystems, their biodiversity, and take action on
climate change.
What would it cost to correct the problem?
A study by the World Bank Group, UNICEF and the World Health Organization estimates
that extending basic water and sanitation services to the unserved would cost US$28.4 billion per
year from 2015 to 2030, or 0.10 per cent of the global product of the 140 countries included in its
study.
What would it cost if we don’t correct the problem?
The costs are huge both for people and for the economy. Worldwide, more than 2 million
people die every year from diarrhoeal diseases. Poor hygiene and unsafe water are responsible
for nearly 90 percent of these deaths and mostly affect children. The economic impact of not
investing in water and sanitation costs 4.3 per cent of sub-Saharan African GDP. The World Bank
estimates that 6.4 per cent of India’s GDP is lost due to adverse economic impacts and costs of
inadequate sanitation. Without better infrastructure and management, millions of people will
continue to die every year and there will be further losses in biodiversity and ecosystem resilience,
undermining prosperity and efforts towards a more sustainable future.
What can we do?
 Civil society organizations should work to keep governments accountable, invest in water
research and development, and promote the inclusion of women, youth and indigenous
communities in water resources governance. Generating awareness of these roles and turning
them into action will lead to win-win results and increased sustainability and integrity for both
human and ecological systems. You can also get involved in the World Water Day and World
Toilet Day campaigns that aim to provide information and inspiration to take action on hygiene
issues.

Cleaning up waterways industrial and other sites (hospital, esteros, and others)
We should prevent polluted runoff—especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment—from
running into your local creeks, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. When water flows off of our
streets, parking lots, and building rooftops, it picks up all kinds of pollutants like pet waste,
sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, oil, and automotive fluids. As more houses, roads, and shopping
centers are built, more of this polluted stormwater or runoff makes its way through gutters and
storm drains to the nearest stream.
Here are 11 ways you can take real action to reduce polluted runoff. Many of these make great
projects for your community, school, church, scout troup, garden club, or other group.
1. Properly dispose of hazardous household items.
2. Reduce or eliminate use of fertilizers and chemical herbicides and pesticides.
3. Make an appointment to service your septic system.
4. Landscape with native plants.
5. Eliminate bare spots in your yard.
6. Make a rain garden.
7. Install a rain barrel (or two).
8. If you live on the water, build a living shoreline.
9. Resurface with permeable pavers.
10. Participate in a local training or certification program.
11. Plant a tree.

The role of the youth in environmental protection and management

Students need to make an impact on the environment by protecting and manage the
environment, by getting involved with local charities and assisting in the community. Like promote
tree plantations in their surrounding areas. They should help government and non-government
organizations prevent pollution from the society by actively participating in programs and giving
information about polluters to the environment.
The role of youth in the Environmental Protection and Management is to become engaged
with neighborhood charities, and contribute to the community in order to have an impact on the
environment. such as encouraging tree planting in the neighborhood. By actively participating in
programs and disseminating information on environmental polluters, they should assist
government and non-governmental organizations in preventing pollution from society.
Nursery establishment and different method for home gardening and organic farming
Nursery is an area, in which new saplings are raised and nourished until they are ready
for sale or transplanting at a permanent place in a field. Raising of seedlings in a nursery is
important for various reasons.

 It is possible to grow and maintain a large number of plants per unit area.
 Small and expensive hybrid seeds can be raised more effectively due to better care and
management.
 When seeds are sown in seedbeds, their germination percentage increases and the
vigour of the seedlings also improves.
 The management of seedlings can be done in a better way with minimum care, cost and
maintenance as the nursery area is small.
 Manipulation of growing conditions for plants becomes easy.
 Better and uniform crop growth can be obtained in the main field by selecting vigorous
and healthy seedlings.
 Off-season sowing of seeds becomes possible, which ultimately results in fetching more
returns.
 The seed requirement of nursery raised crops is less as compared to direct seed sowing
of the same crop due to better management.
 Sowing seeds in a nursery allows additional time for doing preparatory tillage in the main
plot. Harvesting of the previous crop can also be prolonged, if needed.
 Management of insect-pests, diseases and weeds is easy in a nursery.
