WATERBEST PRACTICES
Water is one of the critical issues facing the world currently. On one hand there is scarcity of water with no water in some parts of the country and on the other hand there is water available but is polluted. Think about these questions.
1. Where does our water come from ?2. What is the quality of water?3. How much water do we use ?4. Do we use it wisely or wastefully?5. Where does the water we use go?6. Does our waste water get treated before it leaves our compound?7. How do we treat wastewater?8. Can this treated water be reused? For what?
The questions become very critical to look at as well as pertinent for achieving better and sustainable water management.
