Following are the importance of water conservation and its methods:
(a) In water conservation reducing irrigation losses such as use of lined or covered canals, using water in the early morning or at late evening, use of sprinkling and drip method etc. is very helpful.
(b) To conserve water in sandy regions horizontal barrier of asphalt is placed below the soil surface to escape from quick evaporation of water.
(c) To conserve water in irrigated area some chemical wetting agents are used to increase the water intake of the soil.
(d) Water is conserved by making some boundary of soil barrier which prevent the quick run of rain water in plains pertinently in paddy field.
(e) Water is allowed to flow to the farming area and in foothills the course of the rebuilds are changed.
(f) To conserve water digging large pond is necessary.
(g) conserve water the small embankments is hilly slopes allow rain water to wait more and thus water gets more time to infiltrate.
(h) To conserve water re-use and economic use of it also helpful.
(i) Person can reduce the misuse and overuse of water in the area, where water is already in shortage and where water shortage is ahead pricing in water supply.
(j) Soil is left farrow far one or two seasons which increase its water conserving capacity.
(k) To conserve water in dry area or in the area under the affect of desertification the creation of new watershed or revival of old watersheds also very helpful.
