Protecting Our Water Resources

In today's society, water is like a survival kit and it is one of the most important resources for the environment and humanity. Water resources can be used in labor environment, agricultural environment, and at home. It is so pure and nutritious that humans depend on water to keep them drinking and healthy. The US Geological Survey (2010) shows the water usage rate in the United States in 2000. For example, 1% for livestock, 13% for public water, 1% for aquaculture, 40% for irrigation, 5% for industrial use, 48% electricity. %, Domestic (self-sufficiency) 1%, thermal power 39% and mining

We can not underestimate the importance of protecting our water resources. From an economic point of view, the Canadian Ministry of Environment estimates that the measurable contribution of water to the Canadian economy is between $ 7.5 billion and $ 23 billion a year. In terms of the environment, water is the life line of the earth. If clean freshwater is not supplied steadily, all lives, including humans, will disappear. The amount, quality, and economic problems we use water is complicated, but at least one of the reasons is easier to manage - the way we throw out the water. Furthermore, the solution is to conserve water. Briefly, conserving water means doing the same thing by using water more efficiently, or, where appropriate, by reducing the water, thereby reducing current and future resources It can be protected. Wisely using water will reduce pollution and health risks, reduce water bills, and extend the life of existing supply and waste disposal facilities

Our water resources have important environmental, social and economic value for the state of New South Wales, and such resources will lose their value if the water quality declines. Water quality is not only important to protect public health. Water provides ecological habitat for agriculture, fishery and mining, contributing to recreation and sightseeing. Water quality is closely related to surrounding environment and land use. In addition to the form of water vapor, water is never pure, it is affected by community applications such as agriculture, urban and industrial use, and recreation. Changes in natural rivers caused by dams and dams also affect water quality. Especially in the arid regions such as Australia that are susceptible to droughts, the weather may also have a significant impact on water quality.

As our community develops, it must work to protect and improve the quality of water resources. The assets such as Skyview Lake, Ta Ha Zouka Park, Elkhorn River's North Fork, make Norfolk one of the most livable communities in the country. Maintaining the cleanliness and availability of water is interesting for everyone.
