Tips To Conserve Water For You, Me And Them!

Water! Since the time we were little kids studying in school, how many times did we repeat these lines?? – “Water is our life, we should save it.” “Stop the wastage of Water, We just have ⅓ of earth” “Water is essential for every living beings, let us share it wisely.” Well, we learnt that but how many of us actually follow it? Are we thinking about its equal share? Though we know, we cannot provide water to everyone who are deprived of it, humanly not possible but hey, we might be the reason they are not getting the water. Let’s not forget that Water is for all, every living being on this planet and it is not MANMADE!

Here are few tips that you, me and they can cultivate as habit to save gallons of water, only to try making it reach to the deprived:

1.Pipes and Faucets

Check faucets and pipe for any leakages. As a small leakage in the faucets can waste 20 Liter of water in a day and hundreds of Liter water wastage if there is a large leakage.

2. Go For Less And Smaller

Whenever you go for pee, flush a makeup tissue, cigarette butt or any used paper, press the smaller flush button as using the larger one will just waste 6-7 Liters of water, which isn’t actually required to flush the above mentioned. Use it wisely.

3. Limit The Bath Time
