Question

The given pie-chart shows how water is consumed in households in a metropolitan city in India. Study the information carefully and write a paragraph in about 100-120 words drawing a comparative analysis of water consumption. Emphasize on wasteful water consumption and suggest possible ways to save water.

Answer 1

The pie chart shows how much water is consumed by households in a large Indian city. Nearly half of the water used in households is used for toilets and laundry, with toilet usage accounting for the highest percentage at 26%. Showers and faucets each account for 16% and 17% of the total. Leaks make up 14% of waste, which is another significant factor. Together, washing dishes and taking a bath account for just 3% of all water use. The high water use in toilets and laundry suggests that there is a lot of room for water conservation in these areas. Use of low-flow toilets or fewer flushes, the use of water-efficient washing machines, and the repair of leaks can all contribute to significant water savings. Water waste can also be decreased by using aerators in showers and faucets, turning off the water while shaving or brushing your teeth, and repairing leaks.
