Majority of the population in developed and semi-developed
countries have not taken the issue of water supply as something to be looked
into. Underdeveloped and third world countries such as Africa, India and others
find the presence of clean water hard to come by. As Malaysia faces the
predicament of hot and dry weather during this these trying times due to the El
Nino phenomenon, measures are being taken by all parties to ensure clean water
supply is adequate and within reach. So how exactly we as normal folks do our
part in conserving this precious resource? By reading this book, you just may
get a brainwave to start harvesting what little rain that falls these days or

do to save water in your everyday life. From turning off taps to fixing leaks,
from thinking about how you cook to what you plant in your garden, this book is
overflowing with practical tips on saving and gathering water, both inside and
outside the home.
Water is essential in caring for and promoting nature and
heritage. Every one of its properties depends upon and interacts with water in
some way, so the National Trust is both looking at how best to reduce water use
and minimize its impact on the water environment.
