how can we save water

There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
  • #2
    When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
  • #3
    Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings.
  • #4
    Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
  • #5
    Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
  • #6
    Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
  • #7
    Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
  • #8
    Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time.
  • #9
    Plant in the fall when conditions are cooler and rainfall is more plentiful.

Water conservation in the home...

1. Check faucets and pipes for leaks
A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste 20 gallons of water per day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds of gallons.


2. Don't use the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket
Every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue or other small bit of trash, five to seven gallons of water is wasted.


3. Check your toilets for leaks
Put a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the color begins to appear in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak that should be repaired immediately. Most replacement parts are inexpensive and easy to install.


4. Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks
Read the house water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

5. Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators
Inexpensive
water-saving low-flow shower heads or restrictors are easy for the homeowner to install. Also, long, hot showers can use five to ten gallons every unneeded minute. Limit your showers to the time it takes to soap up, wash down and rinse off. "Low-flow" means it uses less than 2.5 gallons per minute.
You can easily install a
ShowerStart showerhead, or add a ShowerStart converter to existing showerheads, which automatically pauses a running shower once it gets warm.
Also, all household faucets should be fit with
aerators
. This single best home water conservation method is also the cheapest!

6. Put plastic bottles or float booster in your toilet tank

To cut down on water waste, put an inch or two of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles to weigh them down. Fill the bottles with water, screw the lids on, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from the operating mechanisms. Or, buy an inexpensive
tank bank or float booster. This may save ten or more gallons of water per day.

Be sure at least 3 gallons of water remain in the tank so it will flush properly. If there is not enough water to get a proper flush, users will hold the lever down too long or do multiple flushes to get rid of waste. Two flushings at 1.4 gallons is worse than a single 2.0 gallon flush. A better suggestion would be to buy an
adjustable toilet flapper that allow for adjustment of their per flush use. Then the user can adjust the flush rate to the minimum per flush setting that achieves a single good flush each time.

For new installations, consider buying "low flush" toilets, which use 1 to 2 gallons per flush instead of the usual 3 to 5 gallons.

Replacing an 18 liter per flush toilet with an ultra-low volume (ULV) 6 liter flush model represents a 70% savings in water flushed and will cut indoor water use by about 30%.


7. Insulate your water pipes.
It's easy and inexpensive to
insulate your water pipes with pre-slit foam pipe insulation. You'll get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while it heats up.

8. Take shorter showers.
One way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse. A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.

9. Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush
There is no need to keep the water running while brushing your teeth. Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth rinsing.

10. Rinse your razor in the sink
Fill the sink with a few inches of warm water. This will rinse your razor just as well as running water, with far less waste of water.


11. Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads
Automatic dishwashers and clothes washers should be fully loaded for optimum water conservation. Most makers of dishwashing soap recomend not pre-rinsing dishes which is a big water savings.
With clothes washers, avoid the permanent press cycle, which uses an added 20 liters (5 gallons) for the extra rinse. For partial loads, adjust water levels to match the size of the load. Replace old clothes washers. New Energy Star rated washers use 35 - 50% less water and 50% less energy per load. If you're in the market for a new clothes washer, consider buying a water-saving
frontload washer.


12. Minimize use of kitchen sink garbage disposal units
In-sink 'garburators' require lots of water to operate properly, and also add considerably to the volume of solids in a septic tank which can lead to maintenance problems. Start a
compost pile as an alternate method of disposing food waste.

13. When washing dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
If your have a double-basin, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water. If you have a single-basin sink, gather washed dishes in a dish rack and rinse them with a spray device or a panful of hot water.
Dual-swivel aerators are available to make this easier. If using a dishwasher, there is usually no need to pre-rinse the dishes.

14. Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables
Just rinse them in a stoppered sink or a pan of clean water. Use a
dual-setting aerator.

15. Keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge.

Running tap water to cool it off for drinking water is wasteful. Store drinking water in the fridge in a
safe drinking bottle. If you are filling water bottles to bring along on outdoor hikes, consider buying a LifeStraw personal water filter which enables users to drink water safely from rivers or lakes or any available body of water.


Water conservation in the yard and garden...

16. Plant drought-resistant lawns, shrubs and plants

If you are planting a new lawn, or overseeding an existing lawn, use drought-resistant grasses such as the new
"Eco-Lawn".
Many beautiful shrubs and plants thrive with far less watering than other species. Replace herbaceous perennial borders with native plants. Native plants will use less water and be more resistant to local plant diseases. Consider applying the principles of
xeriscape for a low-maintenance, drought resistant yard.
Plant slopes with plants that will retain water and help reduce runoff.
Group plants according to their watering needs.


17. Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants

Mulch will slow evaporation of moisture while discouraging weed growth. Adding 2 - 4 inches of organic material such as compost or bark mulch will increase the ability of the soil to retain moisture. Press the mulch down around the dripline of each plant to form a slight depression which will prevent or minimize water runoff.
For information about different mulch materials and their best use,
click here.

18. Don't water the gutter
Position your sprinklers so water lands on the lawn or garden, not on paved areas. Also, avoid watering on windy days.


19. Water your lawn only when it needs it

A good way to see if your lawn needs watering is to step on the grass. If it springs back up when you move, it doesn't need water. If it stays flat, the lawn is ready for watering. Letting the grass grow taller (to 3") will also promote water retention in the soil.
Most lawns only need about 1" of water each week. During dry spells, you can stop watering altogether and the lawn will go brown and dormant. Once cooler weather arrives, the morning dew and rainfall will bring the lawn back to its usual vigor. This may result in a brown summer lawn, but it saves a lot of water.


20. Deep-soak your lawn

When watering the lawn, do it long enough for the moisture to soak down to the roots where it will do the most good. A light sprinkling can evaporate quickly and tends to encourage shallow root systems. Put an empty tuna can on your lawn - when it's full, you've watered about the right amount. Visit our
natural lawn care page for more information.

21. Water during the early parts of the day
; avoid watering when it's windy
Early morning is generally better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus. Early watering, and late watering, also reduce water loss to evaporation. Watering early in the day is also the best defence against slugs and other garden pests. Try not to water when it's windy - wind can blow sprinklers off target and speed evaporation.


22. Add organic matter and use efficient watering systems for shrubs, flower beds and lawns
Adding organic material to your soil will help increase its absorption and water retention. Areas which are already planted can be 'top dressed' with compost or organic matter.
You can greatly reduce the amount of water used for shrubs, beds and lawns by:
- the strategic placement of
soaker hoses
- installing a
rain barrel water catchment system
- installing a simple
drip-irrigation system
Avoid over-watering plants and shrubs, as this can actually diminish plant health and cause yellowing of the leaves.
When hand watering, use a
variable spray nozzle
for targeted watering.

23. Don't run the hose while washing your car

Clean the car using a pail of soapy water. Use the hose only for rinsing - this simple practice can save as much as 150 gallons when washing a car. Use a spray nozzle when rinsing for more efficient use of water. Better yet, use a
waterless car washing system; there are several brands, such as EcoTouch, which are now on the market.

24. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks


25. Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets and couplings

Leaks outside the house may not seem as bad since they're not as visible. But they can be just as wasteful as leaks indoors. Check frequently to keep them drip-free. Use hose washers at spigots and hose connections to eliminate leaks.

Water conservation comes naturally when everyone in the family is aware of its importance, and parents take the time to teach children some of the simple water-saving methods around the home which can make a big difference

close taps when not in use

  • 2

Some simple ways to save the water are -

1 .Turn thetap off while you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your hands, doing dishes, and so on.

2 . Check your plumbing for leaks especially leaking pipes .

3 . Use waste water ( after bathing or dish cleaning ) to water plants .

4 . Dont use laundry much .

5 . Wash your cars in a lawn so that plants get water and not waste it .

6 . Do not use to wash raw vegetables under a running tap , but in a container with water .

  • 4

  1. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth this can save 6 litres of water per minute.
  2. Place a cistern displacement device in your toilet cistern to reduce the volume of water used in each flush. You can get one of these from your water provider.
  3. Take a shorter shower. Shower can use anything between 6 and 45 litres per minute.
  4. Always use full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher this cuts out unnecessary washes in between.
  5. Fix a dripping tap. A dripping tap can waste 15 litres of water a day, or 5,500 litres of water a year.
  6. Install a water butt to your drainpipe and use the water collected to water your plants, clean your car and wash your windows.
  7. Water your garden with a watering can rather than a hosepipe. A hosepipe uses 1,000 litres of water an hour. Mulching your plants (with bark chippings, heavy compost or straw) and watering in the early morning and late afternoon will reduce evaporation and also save water.
  8. Fill a jug with tap water and place this in your fridge. This will mean you do not have to leave the cold tap running for the water to run cold before you fill your glass.
  9. Install a water meter. When you're paying your utility provider for exactly how much water you use, laid out in an itemised bill, there's an incentive to waste less of the stuff.
  10. Invest in water-efficient goods when you need to replace household products. You can now buy water-efficient showerheads, taps, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers and many other water-saving products.

1Save water from your taps. Turn the faucet/tap off while you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing your hands, doing dishes, and so on. Turn the tap off when you shower, too. Get wet, then turn off the water while you soap up. Turn it back on for long enough to rinse. Look for a twist valve that installs behind your shower head to keep the water temperature where you set it while the water is off.
  • Catch the cold water that comes out of the faucet, tap, or shower while you are waiting for the hot water. Use it to water plants or pour into your toilet reservoir after flushing.
  • Water from a hot water tank may have more sediment or rust than water from the cold water tank, but is otherwise suitable for drinking. If you use a water filter, you can filter the saved water, and put it in bottles in the refrigerator for drinking water.

Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. #5. Run your dishwasher only when it is full and you could save 400 gallons a month. #6. Choose shrubs and groundcovers, instead of turf for hard to water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips. #7. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps. #8. Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost instead and save gallons every time. #9. Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower. #10. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks, so that every drop goes down you not the drain. #11. Check your water meter and bill to track your water usage. #12. Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter. #13. Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap. #14. Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year. #15. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk and save 80 gallons of water every time. #16. If your shower can fill a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a water-efficient model. #17. Collect the water you use for rinsing produce and reuse it to water houseplants. #18. Divide your watering cycle into shorter periods to reduce runoff and allow for better absorption every time you water. #19.

We're more likely to notice leaky faucets indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, pipes, and hoses for leaks.

#20. Periodically check your pool for leaks if you have an automatic refilling device. #21. Only water your lawn when needed. You can tell this by simply walking across your lawn. If you leave footprints, it's time to water. #22. Consider installing new appliances. They are more water and energy-efficient than older appliances. A new washing machine can save up to 20 gallon per load. #23. Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You'll save up to 1000 gallons a month. #24. Install low-volume toilets. #25. Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. Longer grass shades root systems and holds soil moisture better than a closely clipped lawn. #26. When you clean your fish tank, use the water you've drained on your plants. The water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing you with a free and effective fertilizer. #27. Use the sprinkler for larger areas of grass. Water small patches by hand to avoid waste. #28. Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a leak. It's easy to fix, and you can save more than 7000 gallons a year. #29. Plug the bathtub before turning the water on, and then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up. #30. Use porous materials for walkways and patios to keep water in your yard and prevent wasteful runoff. #31. Direct downspouts and other runoff towards shrubs and trees, or collect and use for your garden. #32. Designate one glass for your drinking water each day. This will cut down on the number of times you run your dishwasher. #33. Reduce runoff that can be harmful to local waterways by altering the grade of your lawn to redirect fast flowing water to a mulched shrub bed at the low end of your yard. #34. Install a rain shut-off device on your automatic sprinklers to eliminate unnecessary watering. #35. Don't use running water to thaw food. Defrost food in the refrigerator for water efficiency and food safety. #36. Choose a water-efficient drip irrigation system for trees, shrubs and flowers. Watering at the roots is very effective, be careful not to over water. #37. Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet. It's simple, inexpensive, and can save 140 gallons a week. #38. Reduce the amount of grass in your yard by planting shrubs, and ground cover with rock and granite mulching. #39. When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load. #40. Teach your children to turn the faucets off tightly after each use. #41. Remember to check your sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep the heads in good shape. #42. Before you lather up, install a low-flow showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save your family more than 500 gallons a week. #43. Soak your pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean. #44. Don't water your lawn on windy days. After all, sidewalks and driveways don't need water. #45. Water your plants deeply but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes. #46. Make sure you know where your master water shut-off valve is located. This could save gallons of water and damage to your home if a pipe were to burst. #47. When watering grass on steep slopes, use a soaker hose to prevent wasteful runoff. #48. Group plants with the same watering needs together to get the most out of your watering time. #49. Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with other plants for nutrients, light, and water. #50. While fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption. Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed. #51. Avoid installing ornamental water features and fountains that spray water into the air. Trickling or cascading fountains lose less water to evaporation. #52. Use a commercial car wash that recycles water. #53. Avoid recreational water toys that require a constant flow of water. #54. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save 3 gallons a minute. That's more than 1000 gallons a year. #55. Buy a rain gauge to track how much rain or irrigation your yard receives. Check with your local water agency to see how much rain is needed to skip an irrigation cycle. #56. Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote water saving behaviors among children and adults. #57. Teach your family how to shut off your automatic watering systems. Turn sprinklers off if the system is malfunctioning or when a storm is approaching. #58. Set a kitchen timer when watering your lawn or garden with a hose. #59. Make sure your toilet flapper doesn't stick open after flushing, if it does, replace it. #60. Make sure there are water-saving aerators on all of your faucets. #61. Next time you add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant for year-round landscape color and save up to 550 gallons each year. #62. Install an instant water heater on your kitchen sink so you don't have to let the water run while it heats up. This will also reduce heating costs for your household. #63. Use a grease pencil to mark the water level of your pool at the skimmer. Check the mark 24 hours later. Your pool should lose no more than 1/4 inch each day. #64. Cut back on rinsing if your dishwasher is new. Newer models clean more thoroughly than older ones. #65. Use a screwdriver as a soil probe to test soil moisture. If it goes in easily, don't water. Proper lawn watering can save thousands of gallons of water annually. #66. If installing a new lawn select a turf mix or blend that matches your climate and site conditions. #67. Do one thing each day that will save water. Every drop counts! #68. When the kids want to cool off, use the sprinkler in an area where your lawn needs it the most. #69. Make sure your swimming pools, fountains, and ponds are equipped with recirculating pumps. #70. Bathe your young children together. #71. Landscape with drought tolerant trees, plants and groundcovers. Call your local nursery or conservation office for more information about these water thrifty plants. #72. Winterize outdoor spigots when temps dip to 20 degrees F to prevent pipes from bursting or freezing. #73. Insulate hot water pipes so you don't have to run as much water to get hot water to the faucet. #74. Prune plants only when necessary to control over growth. Pruning can accelerate growth and require more frequent watering. #75. Drop that tissue in the trash instead of flushing it and save gallons every time. #76. If you have an evaporative cooler, direct the water drain to a flowerbed, tree, or your lawn. #77. Make suggestions to your employer about ways to save water (and dollars) at work. #78. Support projects that use reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and other uses. #79. Use a hose nozzle and turn off the water while you wash your car and save more than 100 gallons. #80. Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community. #81. If your toilet was installed prior to 1980, place a toilet dam or bottle filled with water in your toilet tank to cut down on the amount of water used for each flush. Be sure these devices do not interfere with operating parts. #82. Install water softening systems only when necessary. Save water and salt by running the minimum number of regenerations necessary to maintain water softness. #83. Wash clothes only when you have a full load and save up to 600 gallons each month. #84. Leave lower branches on trees and shrubs and allow leaf litter to accumulate on top of the soil. This keeps the soil cooler and reduces evaporation. #85. Pick-up the phone and report significant water losses from broken pipes, open hydrants and errant sprinklers to the property owner or your water management district. #86. Bermuda grasses are dormant (brown) in the winter and will only require water once every three to four weeks or less if it rains. #87. Start a compost pile. Using compost when you plant adds water-holding organic matter to the soil. #88. Use sprinklers that throw big drops of water close to the ground. Smaller drops of water and mist often evaporate before they hit the ground. #89. Listen for dripping faucets and toilets that flush themselves. Fixing a leak can save 500 gallons each month. #90. More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering. Be sure only to water plants when necessary. #91. Cook food in as little water as possible. This will also retain more of the nutrients. #92. Adjust your watering schedule each month to match seasonal weather conditions and landscape requirements. #93. Turn the water off while you shampoo and condition your hair and you can save more than 50 gallons a week. #94. Bathe your pets outdoors in an area in need of water. #95. If you must take a bath instead of a shower, fill the tub only 1/2 way and save up to 10-15 gallons each time. #96. Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water. #97. Aerate your lawn. Punch holes in your lawn about six inches apart so water will reach the roots rather than run off the surface. #98. Washing dark clothes in cold water saves both on water and energy while it helps your clothes to keep their colors. #99. Place an empty tuna can on your lawn to catch and measure the water output of your sprinklers. For lawn watering advice, contact your local conservation office. #100. Turn off the water while you shave and you can save more than 100 gallons a week.

Water conservation encompasses the policies, strategies and activities to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand. Population, household size and growth and affluence all affect how much water is used. Factors such as climate change will increase pressures on natural water resources especially in manufacturing and agricultural irrigation
Methods of saving water
  1. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth – this can save 6 litres of water per minute.
  2. Place a cistern displacement device in your toilet cistern to reduce the volume of water used in each flush. You can get one of these from your water provider.
  3. Take a shorter shower. Shower can use anything between 6 and 45 litres per minute.
  4. Always use full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher – this cuts out unnecessary washes in between.

nstall a foot tap. Rather than using the traditional, ubiquitous twist-knob taps, you can install a foot pedal which you press to control the flow of water. Using such pedals helps reduce water consumption by as much as 50 percent.

Attach a shower head to tap fittings. Installing a shower head on your tap may seem like an outrageous notion but trust us on this one. It is a common misconception that high-pressure, high-volume water is needed to clean tough dirt and grease from dishes. In fact, what is more effective is using a wide water spray rather than heavy water volume which of course can be achieved through the use of a shower head. Fitting a water-saving showerhead to your tap will still give you enough water and spray to clean effectively, meaning you use less water even when washing the tough stuff.

Bring a bucket. A peek into any bathroom in Australia provides a handy water-saving tip from the inhabitants of the driest continent on the planet - place a bucket in the shower. These buckets are placed under the showerhead to catch all that excess water that normally goes down the drain while you wait for the water to heat up.

Treat your wastewater at home

Generally speaking, all that water that trickles down the drain after you use it can actually be a boon for the garden. Commonly referred to as wastewater (or blackwater and greywater), leftover water from the bathroom, kitchen and laundry is mixed with detergents, oil and dirt and is generally not appropriate for use in the garden in its waste form. However, with proper filtering and treatment it can be highly beneficial for crops.

In a broad sense, blackwater can defined as wastewater that originates from toilets and bathrooms containing human waste and urine. This water is highly contaminated and should be treated as sewage. Greywater is wastewater from sinks, washing machines, showers and bathtubs. It contains far less contaminants than blackwater and can be treated via various at-home filtration techniques for use in your backyard. Exact defintions of blackwater and greywater vary and it would be worthwhile checking with your local authority to determine exactly which categories your wastewater falls into.
 

Use less water when cleaning

Using biodegradable cleaners (i.e. natural items such as lemons and vinegar or cleaning agents manufactured under eco-friendly conditions) as well as phosphate-free detergents also helps to reduce water consumption and is less harmful to the environment. Using them to clean uses less water than chemically-laden alternatives.

One reason for this is the inclusion of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) in many conventional cleaning products. SLS is generally used as a foaming agent, it’s foaming properties triggered when coming into contact with water. Without water, using these cleaning gels and creams would be one sticky mess—the more water that’s used, the more foam that's produced. These agents also need to be washed off any surface or item after use considering the harmful impact they have on human health. Compare this to using vinegar, which requires no water to offset it’s disinfecting properties and doesn’t need to be washed off a surface or item after it’s been used to clean (check out this site for oodles of recommendations for cleaning with vinegar).

The local tried-and-true method of using soapnuts for washing is an oldie but a goodie. A little water is required to get going, but it’s still less than is required for conventional cleaners.

Other reliable products include baking soda  (works wonders when mixed with vinegar to form a paste) and the swiss army knife of natural cleaners tea tree oil, which has strong disinfecting properties and can be used to treat or clean a plethora of grievances.

Rain water harvesting

We couldn’t broach the subject of managing water consumption in a more sustaibale way without paying lip service to the act of collecting and storing rainwater for reuse, commonly referred to as rainwater harvesting. India has a long history of rainwater catching and storage with archaeologists discovering more than 60,000 rainwater harvesting structures in the country dating back as far as the third century BC.

Whether dwelling in the city or the country, rainwater harvesting allows you to take control of and monitor your direct water use.
