Water is the main life source for all the creatures on our planet.

Erbil city has a rapid urban growth after 2003 due to fast increase in population.

This increment in population caused by both natural and immigration, which has led to raise the need for water domestic use.

This need added a further pressure on water consumption in Erbil city especially on the underground water level as the main water source in the city.

All these influences will lead to an overall ecological concern.

In parallel to the need for water, it has been emerging the unwise consumption of water by the citizen.

Hence effect on wasting the precious substance on underground water which accumulated from thousands of years.

The paper tries to investigate the causes of wasting clean water.

A questionnaire of selected sample of Erbil’s citizen was adopted for this purpose.

This research hypothesized that the unwise use of water can be overcome by increasing the people awareness of hazards of water waste and accordingly its influence on ecological issues.

Moreover, finding new sustainable approaches in using water, putting regulations for water use and educate people through authorities, society organizations and media, all these will effect substantially on eliminate water consumption and enhancing our environment overall.
