Seminar On Water Conservation

Maryland School,
By: Preeti
Date: 16th March 2021
Place: Maryland School

Time: 8.30a.m to 10.00 a.m

Our school organised a seminar on ‘Water Conservation’ . The main aim of this seminar was to
remind us all about the need to save the water as it is a precious source imperative for our
survival.

Distinguished environmentalists and eminent personalities were our guest speakers and they
reiterated the need not only of conserving water but also spoke at length on how to conserve
water by stressing upon the fact that each drop of water is precious. Dr. Yashraj, an eminent
environmentalist, suggested rain-water harvesting as one of the best ways to conserve water.

Using visual aids to highlight his discourse, he suggested that to ensure availability of water for
the future generations the withdrawal of fresh water from an ecosystem should not exceed its
natural replacement rate. The seminar concluded on the note that water conservation is the most
cost-effective, environmentally sound way to reduce our demand for water and so each one of us
must do our bit towards improving water management to enhance optimum use of water.
