Water Conservation Measures

There is a certain amount of fresh water on the earth. Fortunately, water circulates naturally through water circulation (collection, cleaning, distribution). Human beings developed technology to accelerate this process. However, due to various factors (drought, flood, population increase, pollution etc.), the water supply may not be able to fully meet the needs of the community. Water conservation ensures that everyone gains fresh water both now and in the future.

Conservation involves changing habits. Many of these customs have evolved throughout life, so it is difficult to change. People simply start actively saving water and then gradually reduce the water consumption by gradually taking more sophisticated measures. The simplest habit is to drain water when not using water. When you need to wash the dishes with water, it can be placed in the sink rather than let it pass through the drain pipe

Individuals can simply use less water. For example, when the broom is working well, some people use hoses to "clean out" the sidewalk. People can shorten shower time during bathing and reduce the amount of water used.

Other protection methods may require more effort and funding at first, but in the long term you can save money and resources. For example, households can install low flow shower heads with small holes to reduce water flow and increase pressure. A stone covered bottle occupies space in the toilet tank and reduces the amount of water that can be used to flush the drain pipe

8. Please turn off the water when not in use. Do not keep moving it while you brush your teeth. When washing your hands please cut off the water between soap and rinse

3. On aqueduct lawn in the morning and evening, the water does not evaporate quickly. Please make sure that the water falls on the vegetation, not the street or sidewalk. If possible, save rain and water on the lawn

If you need water before it gets hot, please keep the tap water in the bottle, rinse off the dish, wash your vegetables and hands.

10. Place a cold water bottle in the refrigerator instead of tap water until it cools down

California water rights are complex combinations of river bank rights and monopoly rights, but in many cases farmers pay for the water they use. The price of water is considered a useful water saving measure as it encourages some use restrictions on the use of undefined water and allows private users to pay water closer to the opportunity cost associated with water price I will. . Australia's experience is beyond water price and deal. The first step is to create a new series of water rights unrelated to land rights. If farmers can own and trade water rights, it is now not only farmers to buy water from water sources, but the amount depends on the price (and the price depends on the relative water shortage at that time) , It is trading of farmers' water. Therefore, the use of water more closely matches the opportunity cost in agricultural production.

Water saving measures implemented by families, big cities, agriculture and industry shows that each of us has an obligation to protect our water resources as human beings and global citizens. Water conservation together with overcoming food and environmental safety can enable us to achieve sustainable development

Participants will be introduced on how to implement cost-benefit analysis of water-saving measures. Cost benefit analysis has been used for many years to prioritize water conservation measures. Individual water conservation measures are considered cost effective if benefits exceed costs. Once individual measures are found to be cost effective, we can combine them into a single water conservation plan. Advantage - Cost analysis relies on accurate prediction of the advantages of water conservation, cost and protection measures. Comparison of revenue and cost in present value analysis
