Time to Act now


Global warming has resulted in less or no rainfall. Several parts across the globe are facing draught like situation. To save us from dry condition follow these innovative ideas.

Wash your hands with a little stream of water in a short time.
Don't keep water running all the time while brushing teeth, washing faces or hands.
Don't keep water running all the time while washing vegetables and fruits. Use a basin or a bowl of water. We can reuse the bowl of water for watering the plants.
We should turn off the tap when seeing water running.
We should water the lawns in the early morning hours or evening when temperature and wind speed are at the lowest. This reduces water loss from evaporation.
When washing car use soap and water from a bucket.

Wipe the floor with the water that has been used to wash clothes.

If a toilet water tank is over big, we can put a big bottle of water in the water tank to reduce the amount of one flush of a toilet.

We can water the garden with the water used to breed fish.

When washing only a few clothes we should wash them with hands and not with washing machine. This saves both electricity and water.

Flush the toilet with the water that is used for washing clothes.

Wash vegetables and fruits with the water that is used for washing rice.

Don't keep water running all the time while taking a shower.

We should turn off the shower when we're washing our hair.

We should not play with water balloons during summer.

Replace the worn-out and leaking taps immediately as it would save about 100 gallons of water in a day.

Turn the tap off when not in use especially when you brush your teeth or wash clothes.

If we need to open the door, answer the phone or do any other things while using water, we should turn off the tap on time first.


Benefits of conserving water:

If we save water we can save money.

Reduction in interior water use eliminates waste water overflowing in the gutter.

Also prevents contamination of waste water in the environment.

The eco system and habitats are protected.
