Some remedies should be kept in mind if we think of saving water :-

  • Do not open tap to full speed! This a very common mistake everyone does. During the time of cleaning utensils or washing clothes never open the tap at full speed, don’t let the water flow at it’s peak.
  • Stop the tap while brushing! Some people have a habit of letting water flow continuously at the time of brushing the teeth, try and be a little generous.
  • Never throw water in the gutter! While cooking in kitchen we need to wash vegetables time and again but something can be done to preserve water in that too, keep a big utensil fill up some water in it and then wash the vegetables in it and at the end simply pour the water in plants.
There can be more ways to save water, think and implement!

Save the resource that has always secured your life! Each drop is precious, save water save future!
