How can we control over-exploitation and mismanagement of resources? Also state some measures for efficient management of water.

Overexploitation and mismanagement of water resources can be controlled through conservation and management of these resources. Conservation can control the ecological crisis that may arise due to its scarcity and prevent the degradation of our natural ecosystem.

Resources can be better managed by keeping in mind the following:

(a) Prevention of water pollution, so that available water resources are not rendered unusable.

(b) Integrated water resource management should develop water-saving technology and recycling and reuse of resources. Rainwater harvesting should be promoted.
