**10. Conclusion**

Adequate steps must be taken by the textile industries for the optimum utilization of energy and water resources. The textile industry is expected to play an ever-more-progressive role in developing environmentally friendly technologies and processes. Training the employees and creating awareness among them regarding the importance of water and energy conservation is also essential. There is a lot of potential for savings. By saving on the energy and water resources, textile industries can not only save on the costs, but can also help to slow down the climate change.

The textile industry is aware of the decrease in water sources and they are developing new technology and new chemical alternatives, but the challenge will lay in converting the technology in current textile facilities into the new technology that uses less water. Another challenge lays in changing the mindset of the current generations in the textile industry to use the new chemical alternatives instead of the chemicals they have used in the past decades. This will be a slow process, but one that will need to happen in order for the textile industry to maintain current production and grow in the future.
