Water is an inorganic, transparent substance that is vital for life. It has many uses like cooking, bathing, cleaning, recreation, and keeping plants alive. However, water is often wasted through actions like leaving the faucet running unnecessarily, not using stoppers when filling sinks, taking long showers, not repairing leaks, overfilling tubs, and overwatering lawns. Proper conservation techniques like using low flow fixtures, promptly fixing leaks, and watering plants only when needed can help reduce unnecessary water waste.
