Water Quiz
S. VISHWANATH
In our quest to underline the importance of saving water for human sustenance and emphasise the advantages of rainwater harvesting and treatment procedures, PropertyPlus has been bringing out a weekly column ‘Waterwise.’
The aim is to create awareness on the reward and compensation that one draws out of prudent water uses.
Our ‘Water Quiz’ will be yet another attempt to inform and educate you on the facts and data related to water.
We do hope our efforts help in increasing your general knowledge which would also help you realise the overriding significance the subject draws in the present social scenario, where increased population and buildings throw additional demands on saving the ‘elixir of life.’
Several right answers in our questions that require detailed explanations would be elucidated by our columnist, S. Vishwanath, for giving you a better perspective of the subject and make you understand the core issues involved.
