Some years ago, the Tamil Nadu Government brought in a very good scheme -- rain water harvesting, and made it compulsory for every home.  Since then, Chennai, has gained a great deal, and the city does not have the huge water problem it used to have, at the moment.

Ditto for many other cities.  However, is this the only solution?  How about preserving small lakes and ponds?  Are there any other methods of saving water, so that we have a perpetual supply of water, for decades to come?

Kindly give information on all methods available for saving water.

Rain water harvesting is one of the ways to save ground water level getting decreased. Restrict the companies who sell the water for money in the name of mineral waters. Govt should take the action in rain water should not be gathered in one place and it also not mingled with drainage. If proper planning is made the rainfall flowed on the road side will not get waste and increase the ground water level more.

In Karnataka Rainwater harvesting is mandatory while building ones own house or while building an apartment, in fact, even theose houses built without rainwater harvesting facility have been asked to implement it ...I feel that it is very essential to do so since it increases the ground water level besides making sure that all clean water gets used and reused 


Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

Rain water harvesting is a good way to save water. Other ideas to save water is to keep small water bodies such as lakes and ponds clean. Yet another tip is to supply water to various socities on a timely basis. 24hrs water supply leads to wastage of water. When something comes in abundance, people don't value it.

Industries are the largest consumers of water. They take in fresh water and  discharge polluted water. Therearetechnologies avialble to treat many such polluted waters and they can then be recycled for reuse.it will release huge quantities of water for use by other sections of society.

If we save the polluted water before it reaches the river or ocean it will be good for the environment and we can save the water and that water will be pure.

Technologies are available for treating polluted waters and either recycling it or discharging it into rivers or oceans. However the industry considers such expenditures as extra and avoidable or unrecoverable. Laws have to be strictly implemented and social awareness has to increase. Water is going to become precious in fiture.
