Though 80% of the earth's surface is covered with water, only 1% of it is fresh water. It's only 1% that we can use for drinking, irrigating, washing etc. So, it's very important that we conserve water. In fact fresh water levels in many parts of the world have dropped alarmingly. For instance if you go to http://www.bewaterwise.com/ you will see a water gauge indicating how much the water level has dropped since July 2006 in Southern California. We need to make a conscious effort to stop the water level dropping any further. Given below is a link to some simple water conservation tips. Check them out and also spread the word around.
Without water conservation, we will eventually run out of water. And we all need water to survvive. Humans, plants and animals alike all need water to live.

What is a stormwater system?
Stormwater starts off clean. Stormwater flows DIRECTLY into our rivers, lakes and streams. It is almost never treated, so everything stormwater collects from the land surface, roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, construction sites, business parks, etc., is carried to gutters, storm drains, canals, and drainageways. It finally ends up in our local rivers and streams -- UNTREATED!
How can you prevent stormwater?
we can control floods by:1. CONTOUR BUND : stones are placed across the slopes to prevent floods2. GULLY PLUGS: stones are placed across the gullies to prevent flood.You can place barriers on the sides of rivers and streams to try and force water to stay inside of its natural bounds, but no measure is completely effective against controlling a flood.

How are bacterial diseases typically treated?
Bacterial diseases are typically treated with antibiotics, which are medications that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment regimen to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
Does stormwater get treated?
Stormwater treatment varies by location and infrastructure. In many urban areas, stormwater is collected and directed to treatment facilities where it is filtered and treated to remove pollutants before being released into water bodies. However, in some regions, stormwater may be discharged untreated, leading to potential environmental issues. Effective management practices, such as green roofs and permeable pavements, are increasingly being implemented to improve stormwater quality.

What is stormwater?
* General definition of stormwater: Stormwater is the water produced from precipitation during a storm that can be measured in a downstream river, stream, pipe, etc. shortly after the precipitation has occurred. * Regulatory definition of stormwater: Stormwater is water that passes through an engineered structure (e.g. pipe or gutter). * Hydrologic definition of stormwater: Stormwater is water produced from precipitation during a storm that reaches a stream channel rapidly and causes an increase in water discharge of the stream. The path of transport may be natural or manmade.
