Water is a clear, tasteless, and odorless liquid that is essential for all life on earth. It makes up about 70% of the human body and covers around 71% of the earth’s surface in the form of oceans, rivers, lakes, and glaciers. Conservation is a careful preservation and protection of something. A planned management of a natural resource to prevent exploitation, destruction, or neglect. Water conservation is the careful management and use of water to assure it provides the best long-term benefit to the  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C. WATER CONSERVATION? Water conservation can effect considerable saving of water with resultant reduction in water treatment and pumping costs and wastewater treatment. With water conservation, development of new sources of water and treatment facilities and their costs can be postponed or perhaps made unnecessary, and low- distribution system water pressure situations are less likely.  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C. Why do we need to conserve water? Why is it important? Water conservation is necessary to keep water pure and clean while also protecting the environment. Conserving water entails being responsible for our water supply and using it wisely. We must learn how to keep our limited supply of water pure and free of pollution because everyone depends on it for survival.  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C. Why do we need to conserve water? Why is it important? Conserving water can be one of the easiest and most effective ways to positively impact our environment as well as our communities. Water conservation can take a variety of forms and each of them is important in the process of preserving one of the earth’s most valuable resources.  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C. Reasons to conserve water: Conserving water saves energy. Energy is needed to filter, heat, and pump water to your home, so reducing your water use also reduces your carbon footprint. Using less water keeps more in our ecosystems and helps to keep wetland habitats topped up for animals. Conserving water can also save you money. The less water you use, the less you will be charged. Water conservation such as the use of cooling towers and recirculation of the water, use of air- cooled exchangers, process modification, and industrial wastewater pre-treatment, reclamation, and reuse will reduce the wastewater problem.  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C.

By reducing water waste, we help maintain healthy ecosystems, protect aquatic habitats, and reduce the strain on freshwater resources. We can adapt sustainable practices, supporting eco-friendly policies, promoting awareness, and protecting water sources. By actively engaging in these efforts, we help preserve the environment, ensure clean water for future generations, and maintain biodiversity.  PEŇEZ, SHAZNIE C.
