Some Tips for water conservation:
- Use only as much water as you require.
- Close the tap well after use.
- While brushing your teeth do not leave the tap running, open it only when you require it.
- See that there are no leaking taps. Get a plumber to come in and seal all leaks.
- Use a washing machine that does not consume too much water.
- Do not leave the taps running while washing dishes and clothes.
- Install small showerheads to reduce the flow of water.
- Water in which the vegetables and fruits have been washed can be used to water the flowers and ornamental potted plants.
- At the end of the day if you have water left in your water bottle do not throw it away, pour it over some plants.
