In recent years, strenuous efforts have been made to conserve and recycle resources. Of major concern has been water due to its rising consumption and resultant shortage. Any discussion of water must include its domestic and industrial use. The treatment of waste sewage is the concern of sanitation engineers and will not be considered here.
