Water is an essential basic need for human beings and to maintain life. It is important to recycle water because water, potable water, is very limited and the actions taken now can affect the current and future supply of the resource.  Recycling and caring procedures at personal level include timing in shower, installation of low-volume shower heads, efficient water use toilets, timing self taking showers, store rain water, efficient sprinkler system, etc. There are many ways to come safe water; it is just a matter of having the recycle is good for current and future generations.  Because according to Beekman “It is neither sensible nor sustainable to continue increasing the amount of water available to meet projected future demand without doing something to improve existing levels of efficiency in water use” The article Water Conservation, Recycling and Reuse recommends several key points to the conservation of water

Indrustrial Level	One of the primary areas for water savings in the commercial and industrial sectors is cooling water. Of all industrial water use, cooling water needs account for more than half. Replacement of once-through cooling processes with recirculating systems has been shown to provide some of the largest water savings and the most rapid investment payback. Often, cooling water is uncontaminated and can be reused for landscape irrigation, clean-up and other purposes
Agricultural level	In agriculture the wonder machine of the age is a simple length of perforated pipe hooked up to a pump. This is the basic tool of drip irrigation, also called micro-irrigation, an Israeli-devised technique in which small amounts of water are applied directly to plant roots through pipes buried along rows of crops. The method is 95% efficient, meaning that almost all the water is applied to nurturing the plant compared with as little as 20% in traditional irrigation
Local Government  Level	Conservation-oriented rate structures and pricing mechanisms such as conservation pricing-rate structures, rebates, credits, conservation incentive or surcharge fees, cost-sharing and loans have been adopted or are being considered by a growing number of water suppliers and regional authorities. Excess-use surcharges, when properly designed, send loud and clear messages to consumers that high water use can be costly
