Water is the most important factor in the life of all living things as they need a significant amount of water to survive. Climate change, drought due to global warming and population increase reduce water resources. Due to the limited water resources, it cannot meet the water needs of all living things. From a qualitative and quantitative point of view, water consumption becomes more and more difficult.
The excessive, unnecessary and harmful consumption of water negatively affects life, making the public more sensitive and conscious. In order to transfer access to water resources to future generations, all kinds of implementation and policy activities are carried out in both individual and public roles regarding the efficient and balanced use, protection and sustainability of water resources. In order to make the future livable, it is necessary to understand the value of all living and non-living beings and to pay attention to the conscious and efficient use of water. Therefore, the conscious consumption of water resources is very important.
