We must all make changes in our lifestyles that will change the course of our water and its quality. Awareness programme, water management authorities need to plan for more efficient use of the water resources in the future. If most of an areas clean water is wasted, there will not be water for future generations to use, meaning the city. There is a need of more research at a larger level.
