Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reducing unnecessary waste of water is the most economically and environmentally sound approach to water resource management. It is a more sustainable solution compared to increasing the water supply, controlling the "mining" of groundwater, developing desalination plants, and cloud seeding/towing icebergs to arid regions as these options either have high costs or adverse impacts on the environment. By reducing unnecessary waste of water, we can improve water-use efficiency, conserve water resources, and reduce water bills for households, businesses, and industries.
