Performed by: Kudaybergen Erasyl Group: IP-2501 Slide 1 — Title / How to Save Water: Sustainable Solutions for the Future Суды үнемдеу: болашаққа арналған тұрақты шешімдер Water is one of the most valuable natural resources on Earth. However, rapid population growth, climate change, and inefficient water use have made water conservation a global priority. This presentation explores the importance of saving water, global and national challenges, and effective solutions. --- Slide 2 — Introduction / The Importance of Water Conservation Water is essential for all forms of life, economic development, and environmental sustainability. Despite its importance, freshwater resources are extremely limited. According to international studies, only about 2.5–3% of all water on Earth is freshwater, and a significant portion of it is locked in glaciers and ice caps. With increasing urbanization and industrialization, water demand is rising rapidly. The United Nations warns that by 2030 global water demand may exceed supply by nearly 40%. Therefore, water conservation is not only an environmental issue but also a social and economic necessity. --- Slide 3 — Global Water Usage / How Is Water Used

--- Slide 4 — Global Water Scarcity / Water Crisis as a Global Challenge Water scarcity has become one of the most serious global challenges of the 21st century. Today: • Nearly half of the world’s population lives in areas experiencing water stress. • More than 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water. • Climate change intensifies droughts, reduces rainfall, and disrupts water cycles. Experts estimate that water scarcity could reduce economic growth in some regions by up to 6% of GDP, affecting food security, health, and social stability. --- Slide 5 — Water Issues in Kazakhstan National Context and Challenges Kazakhstan is one of the countries facing serious water-related challenges due to its climate and geography. Key issues include: • Dependence on transboundary rivers such as the Syr Darya and Irtysh. • Water losses due to outdated infrastructure. • Growing water demand from agriculture and industry. To address these challenges, the Government of Kazakhstan has launched national water-saving programs, including the 2024–2026 Water Conservation Roadmap, focusing on efficiency, digital monitoring, and public awareness. --- Slide 6 — Water Saving in Agricult
