Save Water, Save Home
Water management is the activity of planning, developing, distributing and managing the optimum use of water resources. Water is a basic necessity. No living creature can live without water. There’s a scarcity of water. To avoid this scarcity, water is saved and managed efficiently.
Water Harvesting
The technique to save water is called water harvesting. In summers water level of rivers goes below, people do not have sufficient amount of water to drink like in Rajasthan. Hence it is important to save water. It can be done by two major processes:
- Rainwater harvesting: It is a method of collection and storage of rainwater into natural reservoirs or tanks or the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers.
- Groundwater harvesting: Groundwater harvesting is a method to save water placed under the ground to control the groundwater flow in an aquifer and to raise the water table.
Drip irrigation
Drip irrigation is a type of irrigation which that saves water and fertilizer by dripping water slowly to the roots of various crops, either onto the soil surface or directly onto the root zone, through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. This saves more water than the traditional watering method.
