Port Blair, Feb. 07:
The Port Blair Municipal Council (PBMC) has urged the citizens to conserve
water. As the summer season approaches, with increasing demand and fixed supply
of water, conservation is crucial to the sustainable growth and development of
the city. With an average high temperature around 28ºC and humidity over 80% in
the summer months, water usage tends to increase significantly during this time
of year in Port Blair. PBMC has requested all citizens and commercial
establishments to be mindful of their water usages over the coming months and
take measures to reduce waste. Simple steps like turning off the tap when not
in use, limiting shower times and avoiding pre-rinsing dishes can make a big
difference in conserving our limited fresh water resources.
