Next to air, water is the very essential thing in our life. Saving water is our basic responsibility – for our children.
Few ways I could think of saving water:
- No leakages please: Water leakages are very common and we take them very easily without knowing that we loose almost equal amount of water that we use everyday. Check for leakages in your water pipes and stop them right away when you notice one. You can focus on the taps and toilet tanks that flows even when you dont flush.
- Low Flush is better than Full Flush: If installing your toilet newly, look for toilet tank that comes with Low-flush options. It saves water 3-5 times.
- Float Boosters: If you have a toilet tank with only “Full Flush” option, you can think about Float Boosters. Put some sand or pebbles in a plastic bottle and keep in the toilet tank. This way the water reserved in the tank will be less, eventually every flush will consume less water.
- Showers are costly: When you wish to go for a shower bath, consider the huge amount water that is being wasted. Avoid showers or atleast shorten your duration below the shower.
- How you brush your teeth?: Keeping the tap on – flowing the water – while you are still brushing your teeth is not necessary. You can turn on the tap, when you really required.
- You dont need running water to rinse the razor: You can think of using a container (or a jug) with water to rinse the blade which you shave. Still water can rinse the razor as good as running water.
- Washing Machines: Dont use washing machine with only few clothes. It consumes almost equal amount of electricity and water as the full load. There is a double-saving option here
. - Dish Washing: If you have option go for Stoppered Sink for your kitchen. It saves lot of water.
