Sustainability strategies for the future of water supply

Water conservation: reducing water waste through efficient use and better management (e.g. fixing leaks, water-efficient appliances).
Groundwater management: monitoring and controlling underground water sources to prevent overabstraction (e.g. regulation, recharging aquifers).
Recycling: treating wastewater to be reused for agriculture, industry, or domestic purposes (e.g. Singapore’s “NEWater” recycles wastewater).
‘Grey’ water: reusing water from sinks, baths, and washing machines for non-drinking purposes (e.g. irrigation, flushing toilets)
