Water Conservation
About
Smart practices have the potential to make a huge difference in areas where access to clean water is still an issue. Basic instruction on water-usage habits, installation of water-saving devices and replenishing the level of groundwater through harvesting are some of the many useful interventions that can make a significant impact in parched communities.
