Water use efficiency has been identified as the most promising approach for ensuring water security, to the billions of people in South Asia, but there is a need to devolve the ways to achieve the goals of water efficiency. The threat of an impending water crisis affects all individuals around the world.

Water use efficiency in various sectors should be ensured to pave the way for achieving water security for all.
