Water shortages within the Federation affect one in every five household daily. The Sustainable Water Conservation Action Plan (SWCAP) seeks to resolve this environmental problem by educating the population on the effectiveness of cisterns (for households) and groundwater dams (for farmers) installation in the water conservation process and the overall benefit to the environment. The project will also seek to amend the National Conservation and Environmental Protection Act.
Currently, water shortages within the Federation affect one in every five household daily. Water sources on our earth are finite, and the larger our population grows, the more stress is placed on our natural water systems, leading to water depletion and dry, arid land areas. Instead of allowing rainwater to go to waste, this project seeks to promote the use of cisterns and groundwater dams to reduce the burden on our present water system, through the conservation of rainwater.
The Sustainable Water Conservation Action Plan (SWCAP) seeks to resolve this environmental problem by educating the population on the effectiveness of cisterns and groundwater dams in the water conservation process and the overall benefit to the environment. The project will also seek to amend the National Conservation and Environmental Protection Act and local building codes by engaging government agencies in the dialogue.
The project will not only educate over 1000 local households and farmers on this innovative water conservation process but also support sustainable development in the areas of environment and climate change.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
