Argumentative essay on water conservation

The annual Water Saving Day is from March 22 to March 28. Its significance is to tell people the importance of saving water.

The earth’s water storage capacity is very abundant, with a total of 1.45 billion cubic kilometers. However, seawater accounts for 97.2% of it, freshwater from land only accounts for 2.8%, and freshwater such as rivers, freshwater lakes and shallow groundwater that are most closely related to human life only account for 0.34% of freshwater reserves. What is even more worrying is that this extremely limited amount of fresh water is becoming increasingly polluted. According to estimates by the scientific community, more than half of the countries and regions in the world lack drinking water, especially in economically underdeveloped third world countries. Currently, 70%, or 1.7 billion people, do not have access to clean water. Nearly 80% of the world's % of the population is threatened by water shortages. my country's per capita fresh water is one-quarter of the world's per capita level, making it a water-scarce country. More than 300 cities across the country are suffering from water shortages, and 29% of people are drinking bad water, including 70 million people who are drinking high-fluoride water. Economic losses caused by water shortage reach more than 10 billion yuan every year, and economic losses caused by water pollution reach more than 40 billion yuan.

Terrifying data show that water shortage has become a major crisis facing the world today. Therefore, protecting and more effectively and rationally utilizing water resources is an urgent task facing governments around the world. So, how can we protect and rationally utilize water resources more effectively? From an environmental perspective, the most complete measures are to block and divert water. Change the spatial and temporal distribution of water resources. But this is only one aspect. For humans, it is more important to focus on saving water and improving water resource utilization: in industry, we should promote water-saving industries, control the discharge of pollutants, and strengthen wastewater treatment; in agriculture, we should adopt advanced Irrigation methods (sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation), etc. Water is the basis of life. It is not only related to the quality of human life, but also affects human survival ability. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance water crisis awareness, cherish water, save water, and protect water resources.

To this end, our country has formulated corresponding water-saving measures. The Ministry of Construction of our country has decided that the second week of June every year will be the National Urban Water Saving Publicity Week. The purpose is to conscientiously implement the "People's Political Consultative Conference of the People's Republic of China" and the National Water Law and the State Council's "Urban Water Conservation Management Regulations", thereby enhancing people's concept of planning water use and saving water.

How to save water? There are several methods:

1. Take pride in saving water - close the faucet at all times 2. Use water for multiple purposes - make full use of every drop of water 3. Stop dripping - check and repair the faucet 4. Monitor the water source - - Protecting water sources means protecting life 5. Use less detergent - reduce water pollution 6. Plant trees - conserve water sources 7. Active publicity - let everyone join the "battle" of water conservation

Of course, this is far from enough, but these methods are something everyone can do. We all want to live in a world full of birdsong and flowers, and water is a necessity for everything. So let us start from now on to safeguard the entire earth and the entire world. Save water resources and protect the world!
