Water Conservation Awareness: Educating Communities On Daily Water-Saving Techniques In Mira-Bhayander (Uttan)

Abstract

Water scarcity is an escalating global issue, exacerbated by climate change, urbanization, and population growth. This research explores the impact of awareness campaigns and educational interventions on household water conservation in the Mira-Bhayander (Uttan) region. Using mixed methods—quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews—the study investigates knowledge gaps, behavior patterns, and the barriers to effective water-saving practices. Findings reveal that while 77% of participants are aware of water conservation, only 13.1% inspect for leaks regularly. The study suggests that awareness must be reinforced with motivation, habit-building, and community engagement to convert knowledge into practice.
