As parents, it’s our duty to ensure a better future for our children. With water scarcity threatening to become a crisis, find out ways to save water and teach kids about water conservation.

Do you know that your child can have a huge impact on water conservation effort! Yes, children can even change the way their parents, relatives and school friends use water and thereby contributing to water conservation. Saving water is the need of the hour. As a parent, the onus of teaching your child about water conservation falls on you. The United Nations celebrated March 22 as World Water Day to stress the importance of conserving water resources and spreading awareness about the challenges we face today.

As the water crisis is looming large on us, it is the perfect occasion to look at some facts about water:

• Out of the total supply of water available on the earth, less than 1 percent is drinkable.
• According to the United Nations, around 1.2 billion people face water scarcity in the world and 500 million are approaching this situation.

These facts highlight the problem of water being a scarce resource. Therefore, parents, together with their children, should do everything they can to save water.

Following are the ways we can employ to save water in different areas of our homes and teach our children about the importance of water conservation.
