Question

Which one of the following is an effective way of conserving water?

(a) Increase food waste

(b) Eat less meat

(c) Always turn on the taps

(d) Boil the water when there is no need

This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My query is from Water Conservation, Rainwater Harvesting, Watershed Management topic in portion Social Issues and the Environment of Energy Management

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) Eat less meat

To explain I would say: Eat less meat is one of the effective ways of conserving water. Rearing animals for meat and dairy is incredibly water intensive. By cutting down on the amount of meat consume we can save water drastically.
