Answer:

10 places where water is wasted without your knowledge:

  1. Taking baths and long showers.Think of it this way, the average American shower uses 17.2 gallons of water and lasts up to 8 minutes–that’s a lot of water.
  2. Leaky pipes. An average household can leak more than 10,000 gallons of water per year.  It’s important to keep an eye out for leaks around your toilet, faucets, hose bibbs, and any other plumbing fixture that you use often.
  3. Washing dishes with running water.  Instead, fill up your sink with soap and water and let the dishes soak.  After a few minutes, go ahead and wash them off.
  4. Conventional Toilets. If you have an older toilet, it could be using up to 2 gallons more water than a newer low flush or high efficiency toilet.
  5. Overwatering your lawn. During the summertime, it’s best to water your lawn in the morning (5-10am) because the air is cooler and water evaporates slower.  Additionally, it’s really only necessary to water twice a week.
  6. Running tap water while brushing
  7. Producing jeans, you heard it right.  "It takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular ol' blue jeans.”
  8. Running the faucet until it becomes cool instead of refrigerating a container of drinking water.
  9. It takes 22 gallons of water to make one pound of plastic. In fact, it takes at least twice as much water to produce a plastic water bottle as the amount of water contained in the bottle. The water footprint of one pound of cotton is 1,320 gallons.
  10. 289 billion litres of water is used to produce chilled beverages. Natural juice is better than these beverages, right?
