Why is it important to save water?

Answer 1

It is important to save water because one day the earth may run out of water. If you haven't noticed the oceans and rivers are slowly draining due to people using so much water. Once we don't have water we won't be able to live. One way we can save the water is by using DESALINATION. Water desalination is when you turn salty or brackish water in to fresh clean drinkable water

So it is very important that you save water not only for us but for our planet and the other living creatures as well.

Answer 2

It is important to save water because it is a finite resource essential for life. Conserving water helps to ensure a sustainable supply for future generations, reduces energy consumption, and protects ecosystems that depend on healthy water sources. By using water efficiently, we can help prevent water scarcity and promote environmental health.

Answer 3

Though 80% of earth is made of water, only 1% of it is fresh water. It's only 1% that we can use for drinking, irrigating, washing etc. Hence it's very important that we conserve water. Fresh water reserve levels have started to drop in may places. For instance if you go to http://www.bewaterwise.com/ you'll see a water gauge indicating how much the water level has dropped since July 2006 in Southern California. We need to put a check to this through water conservation. Here are some tips on how to conserve water at home: http://www.bewaterwise.com/tips01.html

Answer 4

Drinking water is in short supply all over the world. Countries are experiencing unusual droughts. Other countries are spending billions installing desalination plants to change sea water into fresh. Others are building dams that destroy valuable agricultural land. Weather and rainfall patterns seem to be changing all over the world.

Only one out of every five people in the world has access to clean drinking water. The other four get water from rivers and ponds, or from underground sources. They are in competition with farmers who want the water for their crops.

If you have clean drinking water piped into your house then consider how much of it you waste every day. We use clean drinking water to flush our toilets and wash our cars. The world population is increasing very fast, and the demand for water is huge. We need to stop wasting it.

Answer 5

Mainly because of the cost of water.

You are not wasting any water, as it goes through purification before coming back around again.

Also, from a geographical point of view, it slows down the speed of erosion that the pipes connected to your water experience. This means that the pipes will effectively last longer, saving your money (by not having to replace them).

Answer 6

Statistics actually show that our fresh water supply is practically nonexistent. This is the absolute most important reason to conserve water.

Answer 7

It is important to conserve water as water is expensive to purify and it will go into your water bill. Also with global warming water is becoming a more precious resource.

Answer 8

• only a small amount of earth's water is drinkable
• all living things need water
• most of earth's drinking water is frozen in a glacier

Answer 9

Every living thing needs water to live and if we use it all and waste it we will all die of dehydration .
