Water Conservation Advisory
Dear Residents,
Do you know? Our community at BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus utilizes approximately 1844+ KL of water per day. Out of which about 11+ KL are sourced from bore wells, water tankers, and RWH. The remaining 744+KL is from STP 1 & 1.5 MLDs and almost 8+KL is coming from outside water tankers.
It means, that to meet our daily water needs, we are relying on additional sources that may not be sustainable and dependable.
Globally, there is a push for sustainable water management; and India is no exception.
India is designated as "water-stressed," storing less than 10% of its annual rainfall. Uneven distribution, agricultural use, and declining monsoon seasons have made the situation worse.
A Looming Crisis: NITI Aayog, a government think tank, reports nearly 50% of India's population faces high to extreme water shortage; and by 2030, this number will be becoming very worse. Therefore, it is high time that we should start saving this precious resource.Every Drop Counts: Simple Ways to Save WaterTurn off the tap while brushing your teeth, washing your face, and shaving. Fill a mug for rinsing instead of letting the faucet run. This saves gallons of water compared to keeping it flowing.
If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact the EMU office.
