Abstract
Pakistan, is likely to face serious water shortages in near future. Increasing level of awareness of
the residents for water use can play an important role to control the deteriorating trend. For this
purpose, a set of 19 questions were circulated to 800 residents of five localities of Southern
Lahore at random, to obtain their views and adjudge their level of awareness. The data obtained
have been correlated to the segments of respondents divided by the size of houses, level of
education, age groups, family size and family income size.It was found that Medium house size
saves more water as compared to large house size and respondents having age between 45-55
years are more aware than respondents <25 years on practices of water conservation. Similarly,
household size from 1-4 are more aware regarding water conservation Practices as compared to
household size (9-12). Graduate respondents are more aware than Matric and intermediate
