Save Water Speech 2
Save Water Speech 2
A very good morning to the respected teachers, my dear friends and other gathered people here. As we are
here to celebrate this occasion, I would like to speech on the topic of save water. Now-a-days, lack of useful
water in our surrounding areas is the most serious topic which needs to be working out urgently. Three-fourth
of the earth surface is covered by the water however there is lack of drinking water on the earth (only 1 %).
The level of drinking water on the earth is getting down and dirty because of various industrial sources day by
day. It is very serious matter that we are losing the useful water on the earth. Each human body consists of
75% water which make clear that how the water is important for us as a prime elements and responsible for life
on the earth. Water circulates itself in the universe through the process of evaporation and rain.
A well developed human body contains an average of 42 liters of water however suffers dehydration at a very
small loss of 2.7 liters. He/she starts feeling weak, irritable, fatigue, dizziness, nervousness, headaches, etc.
We all should improve the habit of water saving and conservation in our home and outside. Here are some
points which can help us in save water outside the doors:
We should use water according to the need and requirement and never over-water our lawn they need
watering every 5 to 7 days (summer season), every 10 to 14 days (winter season) and almost not in the rainy
season.
We should water the lawns especially in the early morning or late evening because due to the low
temperature and low wind speed it can not be lost through evaporation and totally used by the plants.
We should not water the streets, driveways or sidewalks, all are wastage of water.
We should use water-efficient methods of irrigation (micro and drip irrigation, soaker hoses, etc) while
sprinkling over plants or other place.
If a lawn cut higher, it encourages roots of the plants go deeper and holds more soil moisture thus require
less water from outside.
We should never fertilizes (or only sometimes according to need) our lawns because it increases the
need of more water.
Sprinklers or hoses can not be left unattended as they may loss approximately 600 gallons of water in few
hours.
Car washing should be done on the green ground or lawn otherwise prefer commercial car wash as they
recycles water.
We should avoid ornamental water features like fountains in the lawn as show piece.
There should be filter system in the individual swimming pools.
Mulching technique also helps plants to retain soil moisture for long time.
We should try to plant some native and drought resistant plants, grasses, ground covers and shrubs in
the lawns as they do not need more water to survive.
There should not be any leakage in the water pipes in the home and in case of leakage, hose washers
can be used between spigots and water hoses.
Thank You
Good morning to the excellencies, my respected teachers and my dear colleagues. I would like to speech on the
topic of save water today while celebrating such a nice occasion. Hope you all would help me and let me fulfill the
objectives of my speech. As we all know the importance of water in our life. Water involves in almost all the
processes in our body such as digestion, elimination, assimilation, respiration, maintaining body temperature, etc.
It is required to remove the thirst of our body. We can live for days without food however cannot imagine to live
without water more than a day. The level of useful drinking water (only 1%) on the earth is very less and other
water is salty and not useful to the living beings. Water is required by everything like plants, animals,
microorganisms, human being, etc to fulfill the body requirements. Do we imagine that what will happen if the
drinking water get finished a day or get polluted. Yes, it is the main question which has opened the eyes of
everyone and start saving water at every place we belong like home, surrounding area, office, school, college,
etc.
We have to save and conserve our drinking water from extra spend as well as being polluted by following various
techniques of water conservation. Now-a-days, in the world of technological improvement and industrialization,
the safe water is getting polluted to a huge level on daily basis by getting mixed with hundreds of tons of toxins
and impurities (as industrial wastes). There are many water treatments used to make dirty water clean and
bacteriologically safe however many times they have been proved ineffective because of the presence of certain
pathogenic bacteria (giardia and cryptosporidium) after test. Sometimes the presence of toxic chemicals and
inorganic minerals are also found causing various diseases. In order to be safe from the diseases, a mass of
people has started drinking mineral water. If we regularly destroy and soiled our drinking water, surely there would
be a day soon when we get pure water (labeled as oxygen enriched, free toxic materials, radioactive and
chemical compounds). Here are some points helping how to better save drinking water:
We should not waste water by draining it without purpose. All the taps should be closed properly to avoid
unnecessary water drainage.
Do not waste water by irrigating lawns unnecessarily. Lawn needs water every 5 to 7 days in the summer
whereas every 10 to 14 days in winter.
People should verify that home is leak-free while buying home.
All the dripping taps should be repaired soon through replacing washers as they may loss around 2,700
gallons of water per year.
Toilet tank leaks should be checked time to time by using food coloring to the tank (if there is leakage it
would appear within few min).
Never flush toilet or use showers for long time unnecessarily because there may be huge water loss.
People should use only required amount of water bathing or washing clothes.
Do not destroy water while washing hands, brushing teeth or washing face on the basin, it is good to use
mug water or keep close the tap while rubbing hands with soap, cleaning teeth or washing face.
Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers should be operated only when fully loaded in order to save
water.
Everyone should store drinking water for long time in the big container instead of using tap run every time.
