List of the domestic activities in which water is wasted :-
Many of us use water thoughtlessly, It seems as abundant as the air we breathe and a free swig is available almost anywhere. But, fresh potable water is already a very precious commodity in many drier parts of the world. Following is a list of the domestic activities, in which water is wasted.
1) Washing utensils by hand or by dishwater -
A lot depends on the style of dishwashing. A typical session that includes turning the water on and off will go through about 20 gallons (75 liters) of water. Modern electric dishwasher, in contrast, need less than 10 gallons (37 liters) of water.
