We have three things (oxygen, water and food) which we cannot live without them on the earth. But the most precious thing is oxygen, then water and food because we cannot live without oxygen even for a second. Clean water is also a most important thing as we need it in our all the daily routine activities and specially to drink. Already the percentage of clean water was plummeting but due to the industrial activities our clean water under the ground is getting dirty and polluted further. With the increase in the rate of people’s misusing water, it is guaranteed that our future generations will suffer with the results.
Saving water is easy, you just need to implement the action of doing so.
Here are some useful tips.
l Use shower heads with low-flow (also called as energy-efficient shower heads), low-flush toilets
l Keep the tap close while doing hand wash, tooth brush, face wash, washing dishes, etc.
l Keep the habitual of reusing or recycling waste water.
l Water saving techniques should also be given priority in the commercial areas as it is a big area where gallons of water can be saved on daily basis.
l Use water saving techniques in the business areas are like waterless car washes, infrared or foot-operated taps, pressurized water brooms, cooling tower conductivity controllers, water-saving steam sterilizers (in hospitals and health care units), water to water heat exchangers, etc.
l Insulate your water pipes. You’ll get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while it heats up.
l Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage rules and restrictions that may be in effect in your area.
