Question

how can you prevent wastage of precious water

Answer 1

Hey,

Water is essential to all life on Earth, and many people do not have access to fresh clean water as often as they need.

1. Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth – this can save 6 litres of water per minute.
2. Check your toilets for leaks
3. Stop using the toilet as an ashtray or waste basket
4. Take shorter showers
5. If you wash dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
6. Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables
7. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks
8. Don't run the hose while you wash your car
9. Tell your children not to play with the hose and sprinklers
10. Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets, and couplings.

Faucet just means taps.

Thx!

Answer 2

We all know that water is a precious resource on the planet and we also know that the fresh water is getting wasted a lot, but, are we taking any measures to stop the unwanted wasting of water. But, this is also the resource that is being misused the most by human being. People don’t realize the fact the drinking water, eco-system and food supply will be at stake if the water supply is pressurized.

HERE ARE 3 IMPORTANT WAYS TO SAVE PRECIOUS WATER:

1.Stop the Drip

Dripping water loss is the maximum of all. Even in our home we can see the water drip down in toilets, kitchen, bathroom and other pipes in our home.  A dripping faucet can let out 20 gallons of water in a single day. Water leaking from the toilet can let out 90,000 gallons of water in a single month. Are you thinking about how to save it? Well, just close the tap as soon as you are done with your work and for the toilets, change the washers on your sinks and showers. Try to use them with care and maintaining them well is the best way to save water.

2.Avoid Bottled Water

Stay away from bottled water. In many countries, the government is providing tap water and is also tested regularly. The taste has also proved to be better when compared to bottled water. A study has proved that the bottled products contain Neurotoxin Xylene, Neurotoxin Styrene and Carcinogen which is not good for health. Anyhow, all these waters come from the tap water. The bottled water costs more than petrol in gallons. It is also the reason for the increase in the carbon footprint. Always be safe and hygienic. Forget the bottled water until a situation forces you to buy it.

3.Rainwater harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is the best part you can do. Dig a rain barrel and use that for irrigation. So, the water which is got from other means can be saved and also the rain which is wasted can be used for watering plants. Go for it as sooner as possible and save rain water.
