The Earth is surrounded by about 71% water, however, there is very little water to drink. The natural cycle of balancing the water goes on automatically, such as rain and evaporation. However, the problem on earth is the protection of water and making it drinkable, which is available in very small quantities. Water conservation is possible due to good habit of the people.

Why should we save water

To know the answer of why we should save water, first we should know the importance of water ie water is so precious in our life. Life is not possible without oxygen, water and food.

If we remove the entire proportion of drinking water and the world's population, it will happen, more than one billion people are living on 1 gallon of water every day all over the world. It has also been estimated that about 20 billion people will suffer from water scarcity by 2025.
