This is what can be done in your home to make it more water-efficient.

  • Take shorter showers.
  • Turn off the shower after soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse.
  • Reduce your toilet flush volume.
  • Install a system to pump grey water (from the washing machine, basins, shower and bath) to the garden, most households will eliminate the need for any additional garden watering.
  • Be alert of leaking taps and toilets. Find out how you can fix your leaking toilet.
  • When washing dishes by hand, do not leave the water running for rinsing.
  • If you have a double-basin, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water.
  • Use tap aerators to reduce the flow in kitchen taps.
  • Do not let the tap run while you clean vegetables.
  • Rinse them in a stoppered sink or a pan of clean water.

Water Conservation in the Yard and Garden

  • Because gardens are often so water-intensive, it is useful to look at principles of using water when gardening. Some of the tips are revised from " Water-wise gardening" (DWAF and NBI, 1998):

  • Group plants with the same watering needs together to avoid over-watering some while under-watering others.
  • Put a covering layer around trees and plants. Covering will slow evaporation of moisture while discouraging weed growth and the soil to retain moisture.
  • Water during the early parts of the day. Early watering, and late watering also reduces water loss to evaporation.
  • Avoid watering in windy conditions.
  • Plant in the right season, for winter rainfall areas, this is in autumn and early winter so the plants have a chance to develop their root systems before the dry season. In summer rainfall areas, it is spring and early summer for the same reason.
  • Deep-soak your lawn.
  • Water your lawn long enough for the moisture to soak down to the roots. A light sprinkling can evaporate quickly.

Water Conservation for the Industrial and Commercial Sectors

  • These tips were revised from the Green Toolkit 2013: Green Living 37 (WCG 110% Green):

  • Define water requirements for your department, building or unit of production.
  • Appoint a person to track water usage and identify strengths and weaknesses.
  • Present the idea of water efficient appliances in canteens or office kitchens. Fill kettles only with as much water as you need.
  • Try and avoid ornamental water features and fountains that lose water to evaporation.
  • Ensure that people are aware of points and times to report major water losses from leaking or damaged pipes and hoses.
  • Keep paths around the building tidy. Avoid the use of hoses to remove leaves etc.
  • Encourage people to wash company vehicles at commercial car washers that recycle water.
  • Encourage people to be alert of leaking taps.
  • Reduce leaks by turning taps off lightly and getting washers replaced when leaks are discovered.
  • Upgrade production equipment to use recycled water or less water.
  • Know where your master water shut-off valve is located.
