One of the most important aspects of this book is its focus on water conservation at home. By making small changes like installing low-flow showerheads or placing displacement devices in toilets, households can significantly reduce their daily water consumption without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

The book also includes information on measuring home water use, making repairs to stop leaks and installing other types of water-saving devices like faucet aerators. These easy-to-follow instructions will help readers save money while doing their part to protect our planet's precious resources.

For those involved in agriculture, 'Drought Preparedness' provides guidance on developing crop management plans that take into account factors like soil salinity levels and vegetative cover maintenance. With this knowledge, farmers can make informed decisions about when and how much they should irrigate crops - ultimately leading to better yields with less waste.
