Dr Alesia Ofori, a Research Fellow in Water and Sanitation Governance at the University of Leeds' School of Politics and International Studies, noted that one of the major challenges identified was governance, as cited by Science Daily.

More than 400 people participated in the survey, which included questions regarding global water issues from the United Kingdom, India, Spain, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, and Tanzania.

The need for water justice was a reoccurring topic, according to Dr. Ofori.

They demand justice for the poor and disadvantaged who suffer as a result of the wealthy's excessive consumption and pollution.

There is also a need for justice for the local and global ecosystems that have been ruined as a result of global governance failure.

Water sector alliances are needed on a worldwide basis, according to the study team, to educate government decision-making on water concerns ranging from home to planetary levels.

This also suggests a rise in interest in water-based power generation.

Water conservation can also extend the life of your septic system. This is accomplished by decreasing soil immersion and any contamination caused by leaks.

Untreated sewage can spill into lakes and rivers if municipal sewer systems are overburdened. The less water that passes through these systems, the less likely it is to be contaminated.
