The Pillars of Water Protection

1. **Conservation:** Conservation is at the core of being a water protector. It involves implementing strategies to reduce water wastage in our daily lives.

This includes advocating for stricter regulations on industrial waste disposal, reducing the use of harmful chemicals, and promoting environmentally-friendly practices in agriculture and urban development.

Water protectors organize and participate in local initiatives, advocate for sustainable policies, and join forces with like-minded individuals and organizations to enact meaningful change.
