Question

Why is water conservation important?

Answer 1

D.) All of these statements are true.

Answer 2

Answer:

(B) Water conservation is important because people are currently consuming freshwater resources faster than they can be replenished.

Explanation:

Water is a renewable and widespread natural resource, but it can become scarce due to the large number of claimants on the planet and the inadequate way that most people make of it. Potable water is distributed in an unbalanced way across countries. Some nations, like Brazil, have an immense supply of drinking water, while some nations, such as Israel, suffer from the poor supply of drinking water.

The conservation of this resource is important to ensure that everyone has access to this precious and indispensable asset for human life. Unfortunately, the development of urban life has increased fresh water consumption beyond replenishment capacity. People use the resource in a discretionary way, with little economy and this makes the water distribution situation a reason for public discussion. People need to be made aware of the rational use of water to prevent water use being greater than replenishment capacity.
