The U.S could face a water shortage in a little over 50 years. How are you practicing water conservation?

How to conserve water: close the tap when you are not using it.

And also, Stop dumping Toxic Material to lakes and rivers. It decreases the world's freshwater percentage and raises the world's non-drinkable water supply percentage

Low-key an advertisement. Logic: if you like the enviornment use this detergent. Okay. But how is that detergent eco friendly? What are other ways to reduce water intake?

The sad thing is, there are people who think there is no such thing as wasting water.

Another tip is while you're waiting for the water to warm up before a shower collect the clean cold water in a bucket and use it to water your garden/plants or to even flush the toilet.

I remember the buttons that read, "Save water, shower with a friend".

I need to be on that team.
To do things that people neglect in daily life.

i think its kinda stupid that people rinse their dishes and then put it in the dishwasher.. why dont just give it a soap-sponge moment after rinsing it..

Thank you for trying to conserve my element...water...I appreciate it.

I hope more people will see this video and change their current status of water use. Water resources are precious and scarce. I hope the public can raise their awareness of water conservation and strengthen water resources protection.

Hello National Geographic National Geographic you best channel in world !!!! From Uzbekistan

Being in a country like India, the practices they adopt seem almost obvious with reusing greywater where we have been doing that for some time now. We rarely use dishwashers. Btw, this is not to boast but I do feel that a country like US needs to take tips from semi-arid countries and stop reinventing the wheel.

Design and build more energy efficient desalination water pumping plants.

Water is the most essential & commonly available natural resource; conservation 🌊🌀
of water helps eliminate chances of water scarcity & ecological hazard.

The sad thing is that solutions typically aren't sought until AFTER something bad happens. It wouldn't surprise me that it might take a full year or decade of extreme water shortages before anything "is done", by which it will very likely be far too late.
If change is to happen, it'll have to happen with you and me. After all, awareness of a problem is the first step towards fixing it.

[EyesOfByes]

Easy fix, drill a hole from the ocean to Death Valley. The height decline partly helps with the pressure needed for the desalination.

If you care about water conservation and still eat meat, you need to reevaluate yourself.

[subhicshas]

Using the shower water to flush toilets is a genius idea . I want more and more people to promote it

[utkarshshankar]

If u can make these kind of videos in the Himalayas it would be awesome!!
