Steps taken by society to conserve water?

Answer 1

To some degree, the conservation efforts depend upon the specific society you are asking about. In desert regions, you may find local ordinances against watering lawns or planting water-intensive landscaping plants - this is in place in Las Vegas, Nevada currently. Other places work to recycle "gray water" - water that is clean but is not treated to the standards of drinking water; it is often used as toilet water or watering the landscape.

As an individual, you can make choices such as limiting or eliminating watering of your lawn, reducing water consumption in your home such as with water-conserving appliances and by being aware of how your actions impact water useage.

Answer 2

A government can save water by building a large network of reservoirs and by drilling to find large underground springs of clean water. Also, to conserve fresh water certain restrictions on water use can be implemented. Examples would be watering lawn restrictions. Additionally, in Israel they have discovered a method to recycle waste water that cannot be used as drinking water, but is safe enough for irrigation. This means more fresh drinking water is available.

Answer 3

A government can:

• ration water supply
  
• significantly increase water fees
• reduce the availability of water for bottled water plants
• close Golf courses
  
• require minimal water use irrigation
  
• recycle sewage
