Topic: Save water in daily life
Without water, there can not be life. 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water –
Only 3% of that amount is freshwater and only a shocking 1% is usable. We should
save water in daily life.
1. Brushing the teeth or hand wash. Don’t leave the water running while brushing your
teeth or washing your hands, just turn it on when it’s time to rinse. Leaving water
running can waste around 18 liters of water.
2. Flushing the toilet. We are using 10 liters of water for a single flush. To reduce that
number either flush more seldom or change your toilet to a dual-flush toilet. Dual-
flush toilets have the possibility to choose the amount of water you want to save
from your waste.
3. Bath or shower? – Having a shower instead of a bath can save you up to 45 liters
of water. Also, taking shorter showers is a good water savior.
4. Washing dishes – Hand washing dishes at once instead off all through the day can
save you a great amount of water. Use a large sponge with soap to wash your
dishes and use water for rin running sing. When using the dish washer use ECO
settings. It will save you around 20 liters per wash.
5. Front and backyard. Use a broom instead of water hose to clean outside walking
paths.
6. Washing clothes. Make sure your machine is full when washing a load. You can
save up to 80 liters per machine. Use ECO setting for saving water and electricity.
Some clothes don’t need to be washed after every use. By doing that you also save
your clothes from wearing out fast.
7.Clean your veggies and fruits in a bowl. Fill it with water and wash instead of
doing it under running water.
8. Garden watering. Use collected rainwater for your garden. Don’t use the hose to
water your plants but a watering can and do it in the morning or afternoons. In that
way, you will avoid fast evaporation. It is also smart not to water your beautiful
plants on a rainy day.
9. Car wash. With a hose can use up to 200-500 liters water. When possible make a
system to collect rainwater and use that for a car wash. If it’s not possible simply
use buckets instead of the hose.
10. Front and backyard. Use a broom instead of water hose to clean outside walking
paths.
