Answer:25 Things You Can Do To Prevent Water Waste
Save Water in the Bathroom
Check your toilets for leaks
Stop using the toilet as an ashtray or waste basket
Put plastic bottles in your toilet tank - Put an inch of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles, fill them with water, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from operating mechanisms. The bottles may displace and save 10 or more gallons of water a day.
Take shorter showers
Install water-saving shower heads or flow restricters
Take baths - use only a partially-filled tub
Turn off water after you wet your toothbrush
Rinse your razor in the sink by filling the sink with a few inches of warm water
Check faucets and pipes for leaks
Save Water in the Kitchen and Laundry
Use your automatic dishwasher only for full loads
Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads
If you wash dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables
Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator - running tap water to cool it off for drinking is wasteful
Check faucets and pipes for leaks
Save Water Outside
Water your lawn only when it needs it
Deep soak your lawn - water long enough for the moisture to soak down to the roots
Water during the cool parts of the day - early morning is generally better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus
Don't water the gutter - position sprinklers so water doesn't land on paved areas
Plant drought-resistant trees and plants that need less watering
Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants
Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks
Don't run the hose while you wash your car
Tell your children not to play with the hose and sprinklers
Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets, and couplings
