You are a member of the municipal body of your town. Make a list of measures that would help your town to ensure the supply of clean water to all its residents.


Some of the measures that would help our town to ensure the supply of clean water to all its residents are given below:
  • Chlorine tablets should be made available.
  • Proper cleaning of the water tank from time to time.
  • The water supply pipes should not come in contact with the sewage pipes.

[Extra information: Careful and economical use of water and avoiding its wastage is called conservation of water. It includes all the activities, policies and strategies to sustainably manage fresh water. It means using less water and recycling used water so that it can be used again.


Given below are some suggestions for conserving water:
  1. To practice the '4Rs' of water conservation - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replenish.
  2. Planting trees: Trees and forests help in causing rainfall. So to conserve water, we should plant more and more trees.
  3. Rainwater harvesting: By collecting rainwater in tanks, and ponds or by constructing check dams.
  4. Reforestation: As forests and other vegetation cover slows the surface runoff and replenishes groundwater.
  5. Use only the required quantity of water during washing and cleaning purposes.
  6. Fix drips by replacing worn-out tap washers.
  7. During farming, use better methods of irrigation like the drip method for the conservation of water.]
