Water is one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals must have water to survive. If there was no water, there would be no life on earth. But what are doing to save this valuable resource? Are we aware enough of how much water is being wasted everyday if not every second? Are we changing few habits which might lead to a better future?

Here are some useful tips which can help in saving water and minimize the wastage as much as possible.

Fix any leakage problem no matter how small it is, one of the studies showed that each drop wasted per second during a leakage leads to a loss of 30.28 litres a week!
Keep your shower’s time shorter and make sure to use a restricted-flow showerhead so that you can save 15 gallons of water during a 10-minute shower.
Consider installing an instant water heater on your kitchen sink so you don’t have to let the water run while it heats up. Also, use full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher since it cuts out unnecessary washes in between.

As for preparing and cooking food, steam your veggies as well as using less water than boiling, steaming retains more nutrients. If you do boil, try adding the water used as a tasty stock to soups. You can also let it cool and use it to water your garden plants.
When it comes to your garden, add organic matter and use efficient watering systems for shrubs, flower beds and lawns and don’t forget to water your plants deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance. If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption and make sure to adjust the sprinklers so that they don’t water the sidewalk or street.
Water is the most important resource that many are wasting for no reason. Create the change today by reconsidering your decisions and try to see where is the source of the wastage.
