What is the term used to describe the process of reducing water consumption without compromising its intended use?

  1. Water conservation

  2. Water efficiency

  3. Water reuse

  4. Water recycling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Water efficiency refers to the process of reducing water consumption without compromising its intended use. It involves adopting practices and technologies that minimize water waste and maximize water use efficiency.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of water conservation?

  1. Reduced water bills

  2. Increased water supply

  3. Improved water quality

  4. Increased energy consumption


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water conservation does not lead to increased energy consumption. In fact, it can help reduce energy consumption associated with water pumping, treatment, and distribution.

What is the term used to describe the process of collecting and treating wastewater for reuse?

  1. Water conservation

  2. Water efficiency

  3. Water reuse

  4. Water recycling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Water reuse refers to the process of collecting and treating wastewater for reuse in various applications, such as irrigation, industrial processes, and toilet flushing.

Which of the following is NOT a common water-efficient technology used in homes?

  1. Low-flow toilets

  2. Aerators for faucets

  3. Water-efficient showerheads

  4. Conventional washing machines


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Conventional washing machines are not considered water-efficient technologies, as they typically consume more water than high-efficiency washing machines.

What is the term used to describe the process of collecting and storing rainwater for later use?

  1. Water conservation

  2. Water efficiency

  3. Rainwater harvesting

  4. Water recycling


Correct Option: C
