⮚ Do not keep water taps running while brushing, shaving, washing or bathing.
⮚ In washing machines fill the machine only to the level required for your clothes. ⮚ Install water-saving toilets that use not more than 6 liters per flush.
⮚ Check for water leaks in pipes and toilets and repair them promptly. A small pin-hole sized leak will lead to the wastage of 640 liters of water in a month.
⮚ Reuse the soapy water of washings from clothes for washing off the courtyards, driveways etc. ⮚ Water the plants in your kitchen-garden and the lawns in the evening when evaporation losses are minimum. Never water the plants in mid-day.
⮚ Use drip irrigation and sprinkling irrigation to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce evaporation.
⮚ Install a small system to capture rain water and collect normally wasted used water from sinks, cloth-washers, bath- tubs etc. which can be used for watering the plants.
⮚ Build rain water harvesting system in your house. Even the President of India is doing this.
