People waste water in their homes without even realizing it. We have become so accustomed to have a 24 hour supply of water to meet all of our needs from cooking, to cleaning, to drinking, that we sometimes forget that we do not have an infinite supply of water. Besides using renewable energy in the home to cut back on the use of electricity, we must also learn how to save our water supply. Here are a few tips on how to do so.
The first thing you should do is check for leaks in taps, pipes, and dishwasher hoses which can cause over 2,000 litres of water per month to be wasted. Repairing any leaks will save you a ton of money and you will also be saving the environment.
In the same way that you can buy renewable energy, you can also buy water efficient taps that will make the most of your water and will ensure that you are not wasting any while the tap is running.
To save both water and energy, if you're not already using green energy, then you should wait until your dishwasher is completely full before running it. On average, dishwashers use approximately 40 litres of water per load, but thanks to features that some dishwasher have, you can specify that it is a light load, or rinse only, or air dry. All of these features allow you to save both water and energy.
By using renewable energy in your home and cutting back on the amount of water you use in a day you will be doing your part in saving our ozone layer. On top of that, you will also be preventing a whole in your wallet.

Water is not only vital to the existence of life on planet Earth, but in its purest form, it is a giver of good health. Scientists think they have now identified the original source of water, and it is older than the sun – likely coming from interstellar ice, elsewhere in the Universe. Since this life-giving substance is more than 4.6 billion years old, how is that we have destroyed so much of the water on this planet in the past 50 years? Everyone should learn of ways to save water!
The mass spraying of chemicals and dumping of waste is leading to the demise of our most vital resource. Water is used excessively on farmland that does not grow food efficiently or sustainably. Water is also wasted on domestic purposes like watering lawns and flushing toilets. And, as mentioned, our oceans, rivers, and streams have become a veritable dumping ground for industrial waste of all kinds.
As Co2 levels increase, evaporation also depletes the world of water,contaminates in the air like chemtrails, also pollute even the rainwater.
Considering that one-fifth of the world lives with water scarcity, and places as close to home as California are experiencing major drought, it is imperative to think about the conservation and preservation of water.
20 Ways to Save Water – Time to Preserve and Conserve
How many of the countless ways to save water listed can you achieve? Many of these water-conservation methods seem small, but as a collective, they can make a difference. Try printing out the following list and check off one item at a time:
1. Use a pan or bowl of water to rinse your fruits and vegetables instead of letting the water run in the sink.2. Turn down water pressure when you don’t need it to come out of the faucet at full force.3. Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the fridge – then you will drink all the water you run, instead of letting some of it waste away down the drain each time you fill a glass.4. Purchase an instant water heater and place it near your sink in the kitchen, so you don’t waste water while you are waiting for it to heat up.5. Don’t allow water to run while you wash dishes by hand. Fill up one side of the sink to wash all the dishes and another to rinse them. You’ll save several gallons each time you practice this conservation technique.6. Use just one glass every day for consuming water or other beverages. This will cut down on the number of glasses you have to use more water to wash.7. Don’t run the water while you are brushing your teeth. Brush, then rinse with the faucet on.8. If you drop ice cubes on the floor, don’t throw them away – put them in a houseplant to slowly water them as they melt.9. Don’t wash tiny loads of laundry in a full basin of water. Adjust water levels according to how much laundry you are going to wash.10. Always wash darker clothes in cold water. This conserves both water and energy, and your colors won’t fade as fast, either.11. Shortening your shower by just a minute or more can save up to 150 gallons of water a month. If you take showers that are less then five minutes, you will save as much as 5000 gallons of water per month.12. Compost instead of using the garbage disposal.13. Try to shower instead of taking a bath. A full tub of water can require up to 70 gallons of water.14. If you have to run the shower or bath to warm up the water, use the cold water to fill a bucket and water plants, soak stained laundry, fill a pot for cooking beans in the kitchen, or use it for some other purpose, so it doesn’t go to waste.15. Catch water with a rain barrel or some other water-catchement system so you don’t have to use municipal water to keep your lawn green or your garden plants healthy. Some water conservation systems are not only functional, but beautiful too. Though you may not be able to get away with catching rainwater in the U.S.16. Install a grey-water system in your home. Landscape irrigation takes up anywhere from 32% (national average) to 70% (average in the western United States) of municipal water usage per household – but by using grey-water this can be lessened considerably.17. If you have a water-guzzling toilet (likely any toilet that was installed before 1992) then consider purchasing a water-conserving toilet.18. If you live on land that is secluded, take a rain bath the next time the weather allows, or install an outdoor shower so that the runoff from your shower waters nearby plants.19. Use a water-conserving ice maker.20. Hire a ‘green’ plumber to help you make your home water-conservation savvy.
