Water conservation is the preservation, control and management of water resources.

1. Industrial conservation: Water conservation measures that can be taken by industries are:

  • using dry cooling systems.
  • if water is used as cooling agent, reusing the water for irrigation or other purposes.

2. Agricultural conservation: Agricultural water is often lost due to leaks in canals, run off and evaporation. 

Some of the water conserving methods are:

  • using lined or covered canals that reduce loss of water and evaporation.
  • using improved techniques such as sprinklers and drip irrigation.
  • encouraging the development of crops that require less water and are drought resistant.
  • mulching of soil in vegetable cultivation and in horticulture.
