Water Conservation

Why it matters

• Mitigates the impact of climate change-induced droughts and erratic precipitation patterns.
• Ensures long-term food security by maintaining adequate irrigation potential for the agricultural sector.
• Reduces the energy intensity associated with water extraction, treatment, and distribution.
• Preserves ecological balance and biodiversity within freshwater ecosystems.

How it is asked

Focus on the shift from supply-side management to demand-side management, the integration of traditional water harvesting techniques with modern technology, and the role of decentralized governance through local bodies.
