20 SIMPLE WAYS TO SAVE WATER

 20 Simple Ways To Save Water

 

As humans, it can be easy for us to ignore how much water we use every day. It is time to realize the need to conserve water. Taking the time to learn how you can do your part to save water can help improve your quality of life and save the planet. Here are 20 ways to save water that you can do right now.

1. Switch off the water while cleaning your teeth. Doing this every time you brush your teeth can save you a gallon of water every month.

2. If you water your lawn, try regular morning watering. Getting up earlier than usual to water the lawn is not the most efficient idea, especially for busy people. But watering in the morning will protect the lawn from water loss due to evaporation. It can also increase your daily productivity.

3. Fix leaking faucets and pipes in your house. Take a day each month to check all the plumbing fixtures in your home. It only takes 5-10 minutes out of your day to not only save water but also help protect your home from unscheduled water damage.

4. Getting out of the shower 1-3 minutes earlier than usual is something we all do. How many times do we stand under the shower head and just let the water flow over us, or watch it go down the drain when we wash/condition our hair? While sometimes an extra long shower is a necessary part of the day, you don't have to do it every shower. Knowing the unique role we all play in our daily water use, as well as taking small steps to reduce water consumption, is essential to preserving this precious resource.

5. Sweeping the patio or spraying the walkway may seem like the most effective way to clean, but instead of using water to spray these surfaces, use a broom to sweep up the dirt first.

6. If you have a swimming pool, do not decorate it with fountains or sprinklers Water running through the air speeds up the dissipation cycle. This will lead to unnecessary consumption of resources.

7. Did you know that it takes thirteen gallons of water to make one gallon of gas? Taking the shortest route, cycling to work, driving, and enjoying a relaxing night are ways to save water by reducing the amount of gas used.

8. Instead of washing fruits and vegetables in running water, fill a clean bowl or mix it with fresh, cold water and wash them that way.

9. One of the convenient ways to reuse water is to water the household or lawn with the water used to wash fruits and vegetables. It cuts waste and is good for the lawn and the environment.

10. Instead of soaking/bathing your hair while brushing, fill a large bowl or bucket with cold water and brush that way. This helps save water and time!

11. Instead of filling a mop bucket with hot water and chemicals, fill an empty spray bottle with white vinegar and use it as a multi-purpose cleaner. A natural way to clean the inside of your home without using too much water. (Don't worry, the smell disappears quickly.)

12. If you are renovating your house, consider installing water-saving faucets and faucets. Custom faucets will reduce water waste and save you money in the long run.

13. Two ways of heating water occur when water is released for heating. Running from the bathroom and shower, waiting for it to reach the desired temperature, or waiting to be turned on until the water is hot is an unnecessary waste. To combat this common problem, consider insulating the pipes in your home.

14. When making tea or coffee, don't brew the whole pot if you only intend to drink one cup.

15. Instead of using running water to thaw frozen foods, remove them from the freezer a few hours in advance or use your microwave to thaw them.

16. Never start washing without a full load. Washing partial loads consume energy and water. Also, choose cold water for even more savings.

17. When washing dishes, fill the basin halfway with warm water, then turn off the water. Lukewarm water may not be ideal for those of us who run hot dishwashers, but it does the trick as well. Plus, you won't have to refill your water bottle even if you have a lot of regular dishes to clean.

18. Cover your plants/garden to help them retain water.

19. Avoid filling pots/pans full of water when cooking; Instead, fill the pot with the required amount of water.

20. Replace open hoses every few months to ensure hose performance. Dry water hoses can cause changes in water pressure that cause leaks and unsightly debris.
