Water conservation entails the careful utilisation and preservation of the water

supply, considering both its quality and quantity. In other words, water
conservation refers to the efficient use of water and avoiding water wastage to
ensure that our future generation has enough access to water. To be very precise,
water conservation aims at the judicious use of water resources. Water is a
precious and finite resource, and thus it is our today to make sustainable use of
water resources. With the increase in the population explosion, there has been a
serious threat to water resources. In addition, there has been negligence of the
water bodies and unpredictable use of the surface water and the groundwater
systems.
The Earth does not possess a sufficient amount of water. 71 per cent of the surface
of the earth is occupied by water. In addition, 2.5 per cent of the earth�s fresh
water is not available for consumption as it is captured in the polar ice caps and
the glaciers. Only 0.5 per cent of the water is suitable for drinking. Thus this
calls for the need for water conservation. In every part of the world, water
conservation has become very important. It is regarded as the environmentally
friendly and the most practical approach to water preservation.
There are various types of problems related to water. It has been estimated that
about 900 to 1.1 billion people across the world cannot afford to have clean
drinking water. In addition to this, it has been noted that about 2.4 billion
people do not have access to basic sanitation. The United Nations has estimated
that in 2025 about 8 billion people will have to go through the phase of water
scarcity. Most people will need water access to meet their basic demands.
In the United States, the water conservation movement was initiated by Gifford
Pinchot in the late 1890s. The observations of environmental destruction inspired
his ideas regarding water conservation. Also, he was awed and inspired by the
writings of John Wesley Powell and George Perkins Marsh. The projects and the
programs related to water conservation played a significant role in restoring the
United States during the Great Depression. Compared to the European countries, the
UK has less water. About 150 litres of water every day are used by an average
person in the United States. The chief executive of the Environment Agency, Sir
James Bevan, warned that the country�s position is at a threatening position owing
to the severity of water that it's going to face in the future. In 25 years, it
will approach the "jaw of death".
To address the rising concern of the water shortage, the "Love Water" campaign
raised awareness about the significance of water conservation. In other words, this
campaign raises the concerns of all citizens to show equal concern in preserving
the water. Many people have joined in this campaign to tackle issues such as waste
and pollution. Furthermore, the companies and businesses are invited by the "Love
Water campaign" utilising promotional activity to protect water and safeguard the
environment by lessening the detrimental effect of waste and pollution. This
campaign has been organised as a part of the "Year of Green Action". This enables
the people to connect in protecting and preserving the environment.
In the UK, many reasons are the leading causes of water conservation. The scarcity
of rainfall in the UK makes it cumbersome to predict water availability. In
addition, flooding and droughts are becoming common in the UK. In combating
climatic change, tree planting is an essential step. Nevertheless, if more trees
are planted, it will also place heavy demand on the existing water resources.
According to projections by the Office of National Statistics, the population of
the UK is anticipated to grow from an estimated 65.6 million to 69.2 million by
mid-2026. By mid-2029, the population is expected to reach 70 million and further
increase to 72.9 million by mid-2041. Consequently, water abstraction rates may
need to be adjusted to ensure sustainability, as a larger population necessitates
increased water consumption and potentially strains water resources.
The quantity of water that is available to abstract the water is reducing day by
day. In addition, there is also a need to reduce water abstraction from other
sources as it is likely to have a detrimental effect on the environment. It was
reported in 2017 that a shocking 3 billion litres of water were wasted every day,
mainly from the leakages. In Wales and England, water companies are losing almost 1
litre of water utilising leaky pipes as per the largest figures of the sectors. The
industry, along with its financial regulator, Ofwat, asserts that the water
companies are losing average water of 2923 million litres of ware every day, which
continued between 2021-2022. In addition, the largest volume of water is leaked by
the Thames, as per the industry body of the UK. It lost about 217 bn litres of
water. In this regard, the companies have been incorporating innovation and
technology. Smart sensors, drones, intelligent networks and satellite technology
are deployed in an increasing number to detect and fix the leakages accordingly.
Waters Worth Saving is a water conservation initiative in the United Kingdom that
focuses on raising public awareness about water conservation practices at home.
This national campaign aims to provide guidance and suggestions to individuals,
encouraging them to save water and adopt more environmentally friendly habits. In
2020, the campaign was launched on various social media platforms, reaching
approximately 21 million people. The decision to launch the campaign on social
media was prompted by the growing demand for water during dry weather conditions.
The initiative operates during both the summer and winter seasons and collaborates
with the Energy Saving Trust.
The UK takes enough measures to encourage those products that are water-efficient
and initiate a consistent approach to prevent the leakage of water. In England,
plans are being developed to help households use water more efficiently. This is
regarded as a part of the ambitious agenda the environmental secretary has
declared. To address the public�s consultation on the uses of water, a 25-year
Environmental Plan has been set to achieve clear and abundant water. This also
comprises the 2050 Government�s net zero targets to reduce consumption of energy in
homes as heating the water requires 17 per cent of energy use of the households.
In other words, the water supply has come under increasing pressure due to the
changes in the climate and the growth in the population. Commitments are being
proposed to protect the supplies of water in the future. The proposals comprise the
introducing water efficiency labels for various kinds of materials, such as showers
and dishwashers, will enable people to make suitable decisions about how they can
save water in their daily lives.
Advising the companies to acquire a consistent approach to fix the leakage of the
customer supply pipe. About 25 per cent of the total leakage in the last 10 years
has occurred from the customer supply pipes. Local authorities are encouraged to
acquire strict standards of 110 litres of water per person daily compared to the
daily norm of 125 litres. For instance, the new homes must install fittings and
fixtures that will be more efficient. Developing a roadmap that will adhere to
greater water efficiency is necessary. This comprises options such as water reuse
storage options and road water harvest. The National Framework for Water Resources
aims to lessen the individualised consumption of water to 110 litres by 2050, each
person every day.
Taking a quick shower instead of a bath during the heatwaves in the UK can help
reduce the amount of wasted water. For example, 6 litres of water can be saved in
this manner. Turning off the taps when water is not in use is necessary. It is
necessary to install a water-saving device as the presence of the old water
cisterns wastes 13 litres of water per flush. Even the Environmental Agency
recommends installing water-saving devices in the toilet. Avoid using hose pipes in
the local area as the hose pipes lead to the enormous wastage of water. It is also
suggested to avoid watering the lawn. Instead, a water butt can be installed that
will help capture the rainwater and further help water the lawn and the plants.
