The money collected can be used to buy water supply, food resources or shelter. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: white;">We can also educate young children on saving water as it is “blue gold”.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: white;">Increase the price of water to a reasonable amount. Installing a water meter can set a limit in using the water so they do not overuse it. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: white;">A good way to reduce the amount of water used is to educate the public. For example – about the amount of fresh water left on Earth, the causes of global warming, or the effects on health of the people when we run of out fresh water. As they know the current condition of the fresh water left on Earth, they will start to reduce since they notice how life would be without it.</div><div style="background-color: transparent; color: white;">Let the public know about how fortunate they are. Ask for donations to Africa as they are less fortunate to be born in a country like that.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/452275056041683267-4241344366041456939?l=jiayithedgp.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jia Yi Thedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10049784524017079873noreply@blogger.com0
