How can we save the water when we consume it ??

Question

can any one list points in that metter ...??

Answer 1

We need water to survive.  We drink it.  Our crops drink it.  Our livestock drinks it.  The problem is that our industrial processes tend to pollute it.  The contaminants are sometimes deadly poison to us and other living things, and can not be easily separated from the water.  

Conservation doesn't necessarily mean saving unused water reserves.  It means maintaining a constant supply of clean fresh water to sustain us.

Answer 2

???

Water isn't destroyed when we drink it.  It isn't destroyed when we use it on plants.

It is a very easily recycled compound.

Answer 3

How we go about saving water when we consume it will vary enormously based on our environment.

On an desert or near desert we are likely looking for a way to reclaim the water for our own needs again, and we do not wish to allow it to escape into the air to be recycled as rain. We may well not even wish to spread it on the soil so sparsely as to allow it to refurbish an aquifer. Rather we are likely interested in converting it directly to good drinking water by first filtering it through sand, then using purification methods such as reverse osmosis or an ozonator.

What purification system used will depend on what contaminants may be present and clearly making great efforts to avoid contamination count heavily.  One would not want to use water to carry away f***s if one must then decontaminate, but if the only water we have is contaminated with f***s we need to use an ozonator to clean it up after sand filtration.

If we are in a city, and planning to try to recover our used water, again the first step is to avoid contaminants that are hard to remove, and avoiding use of water to carry f***s and urine still makes good sense. If the situation is not as severe as in a desert, it may however be feasible to use  the water as irrigation for crops, or , after removing f***s physically for fertilizer pond the water so that it is filtered by soil and returns to aquifers.

The process of ponding to reclaim leaves us with contaminated water which can be cleaned up by use of ozonators in each home, or with evaporation-condensation.

Water can be recycled by evaporating it with sunlight in a plastic tent, with he water collecting on the inside of the tent. We can do this even with salt water if that is what we have. The water can be severely contaminated, as long as it contains no volatile solvents. Even volatile solvents can mostly be cleaned out with an ozonator.

If there is no local shortage of water, but our local water treatment plant is unable to keep up with demand, we can build a second distribution system for unprocessed water, used for irrigation, used for toilets, even used for washing floors. Unprocessed water is not much less costly to distribute than fully processed water, so nobody does this. The better solution is to get that processing plant expanded, immediately.

Water ponded, expose to sun, will become adequate for irrigation even if f***s are  allowed to decompose in it, so perfect cleaning is only desireable, not critical. Better yet to avoid contaminating water with f***s in the first place.

Answer 4

When we look at water what we think of is to have plenty to drink and plenty to make our foods. We also consider the importance of minor things like keeping clean. What we need to think of is a bigger picture; the water cycle and protecting it since the life of the land and it's creatures, people being among them, is tied to the water forever as life was when first in the sea.

Not be be tied up in theological debate and staying with the scientific and not being drawn into debate other than that, humans are the caretakers of this place, and we are in essence a part of the sea in that physiologically animals are the same basic stuff as the oceans in many of the same concentrations and character. The animals as they came from the sea to the land did so because they evolved to take their environment with them, that of their old saline domain. To keep this though, one of the tenants as we evolved and could spend longer and longer periods on the land (eventually to stay for the whole of their lives) was to use the hydrologic cycle, the water cycle, to maintain the "internal ocean" of the body. From tidal pools governed by the moon, to life as amphibian and insect, to reptile, and to bird and mammal, though we went farther from the sea we have always maintained an internal ocean. This is why when we think of our water, we need to consider the hydrologic cycle instead of just solely "I am thirsty and so are my plants".

Having now been reminded of that tie we need also to be reminded that as we have evolved and grown as a sentient species to such vast herds, and since in our cultural rise we have embraced ways to manipulate our environment to ease our lives and allow more time to question and grow (science, technology, and the resulting manufacture and production), as our populations increase and our reliance on the water cycle places huge demands on that cycle, we need to understand that the manipulation of the world with our intelligence and all that comes from it, stresses nature in a way it was not truly designed for. In response that nature now will change, and one change is the water, the hydrologic cycle. Nature is a force that will adapt and embrace a change but the living component will have to be replaced in the heartlessness of it. As the wolf eats the rabbit, and the deset replaces a field, so we will be replaced with no saddness on the part of nature.

The basics of the cycle are, (and we pick one place to start in the cycle but any place will do) the atmosphere has a great amount of water in it. The energy of the sun causes the standing liquid water (ocean, lake, river, swamp.ect) to evaporate along with empowering plants to photosynthesis and respiration. The winds blow and the air temperature fluctuates and moist air collects into clouds that deepen. When the conditions are right, the water will fall out of it's vapor equilibrium as rain and snow and the dews on leaf and rock. Water that is now liquid, or solid waiting for a rise in temperature that allows it to become liquid, moistens the land and all the creatures, plant and animal. It filters down threw the ground to stop at the lowest impervious layer where it slowly flows in this pristine liquid form to the streams and high wetlands. Sometimes it is a very long deep journey and other times that road is short, so much so that it rains on the oceans. In the long road the swamps run to the streams, and they in turn to the rivers and ponds and lakes, eventually to go back to the sea. As fresh water it keeps the plants and animals alive by renewing their small individual "oceans" within, that which we have carried threw all evolution. We drink and we feed our crops. It is used and then returned to nurture the hydrologic cycle as well as being a component in all the other cycles of life large and small. With the return of the water to replenish the sea, and by nurturing the plants that feed us and keep our world's air pure and in balance, the cycle starts anew as it has done since water first fell and the planet cooled for the first time from it's creation.

We have the power to interrupt the cycle just because we are so numberous in our herds, and more so than any other species since the general rise in the first life that changed our world from it's beginning form. We do it because of our numbers, but also because we are manipulators, we use energy and we make things from our raw materials. We generate huge amounts of waste and residual energy and that is a great threat to the hydrologic cycle. If memory serves me correctly only 2%-3% of our water on this planet is fit to consume, that from a planet whose surface is 70% water the bulk of which is ocean. It would be nice if we could directly consume and use sea water but, as we carry around our own ocean, this would throw off our internal balance, be it land animal or land plant. We need fresh clean water for homeostasis/ balance or we perish. Water in the cycle is at risk in all parts of that cycle. From the gases we throw into the air affecting the chemistry and timing of precipitation and blanketing the planet in an envelope of insulation, to the liquids we throw into the ocean adding alien and often toxic elements and compounds and we risk dire consequences. From the energy we use that adds to the world's base energy and the dust from our activities that are partly the seeds that rain will form on, we make our mark deeply. Just as 1 + 1 + 1 (and so on) accumulates, so does all we do to the water cycle. As that effects other cycles the problem becomes worse. As the water cycle changes so do our crops and the rains, our ability to find clean drinking and crop irrigation, the fertility and bounty of the ocean. Upon this base is our civilization and the balance of life on this planet. Our higher activity of culture affects the lower and most important basic needs of life.

So we need to watch how we treat our air as it is the carrier of rains in that part of the cycle. We need to watch how we treat our land as it catches the rains, nourishes the individual "oceans" that terrestrial life carried from the tidal pools, and we need to stop putting our garbage, sewage, and chemicals into the ground water, rivers and lakes that we drink from and that we use to feed our crops. Activities that waste our water and resources, the different levels of consumption whose activity exploites and stresses the natural balance beyond our simple and basic needs will force the water cycle to derail and turn a great culture into a suffering yoke that will force it to collapse. With that not only our lives but the balance and lives of all life on the planet will then fall apart and reach a lower equilibrium only fit to support a tiny amount of very simple life that will not include us, the humans, and with us all higher life. Too much stress will cause chaos in the systems and cycles, and they will eventually collapse, and so will our civilization.

Answer 5

Water is never destroyed, it changes the form. 'This' water that you drink is there for millions of years. It is recycled all the time.

To "save water" is not to spoil it very rapidly, give nature a chance to filter it.

You can use bath water or water you use for washing and cleaning (with out chemicals and hard soaps) you can use it for your garden or small portion of your farm. Instead of letting it go to the drainage system.

This way you save water and use same water for 2 or some times three purposes.

Answer 6

water is and has been recycled since day one. it can be changed into its component parts but not destroyed.

Answer 7

By using it carefully .for example wash your car with a bucket of water not with 100s of gallon water .......

Answer 8

Have you been to the bathroom lately?

...If not, I advice you to visit a Medical Doctor very soon...and a pychologist while your at it.

Answer 9

don't drink it
