Write 10 activities in which Save Water Ans me.
Answers
Answer:
1. Check all faucets, toilets and showerheads for leaks.
You'll be surprised at the amount of water that can be wasted from even a small leak. Consult a plumber to repair leaks both large and small.
2. Insulate your water pipes.
It's easy and inexpensive to insulate your water pipes with pre-slit foam pipe insulation. You'll get hot water faster and avoid wasting water while it heats up.
3. Install a low-flow showerhead.
Low-flow showerheads are a great way to save water and money. This type of showerhead, which is relatively inexpensive, works by delivering fewer gallons per minute (gpm) of water than conventional showerheads. Low-flow showerheads deliver about 1.6 gpm, compared to about 5 gpm of conventional heads.
4. Install a water-saving toilet.
Water-saving toilets use 1-2 gallons per flush instead of 3-5 gallons. Replacing an 5-gallon-per-flush toilet with an ultra-low-volume (ULV) 1.5-gallon-flush model represents a 70% water savings and will cut indoor water consumption by about 30%.
5. Wash your car the water-efficient way.
Save up to 150 gallons of water every time you wash your car simply by turning the hose off between rinses.
6. Install a low-flow faucet aerator.
Low-flow faucet aerators are very inexpensive, only about $10. They work by mixing air into the water stream and can reduce your home's water consumption by 50%.
7. Use the dishwasher only when it's full.
One dishwasher cycle uses a tremendous amount of water, so make extra effort to fill it up before you press start.
8. Turn off the faucet while washing dishes.
When you are washing dishes, simply scrub each item (with the faucet off) and set it aside. When all the dishes have been scrubbed, turn on the water to rinse off the dirt and soap. This uses a lot less water than soaping and scrubbing dishes while the faucet is running.
9. Turn the faucet off while you brush your teeth!
Can you imagine if one person per household throughout the US started keeping to this habit? The water savings would be tremendous. As mentioned above, this is one of the easiest ways to save water, and it is simple to make it into a habit.
10. Be water conscious!
Being water conscious in general while at home and away is an effective way to save water. Start noticing your trends and habits regarding water usage and change any patterns that are wasteful.

Answer:
Plumbing Leaks:
Check your home for slow leaks from faucets, toilet tanks and pipes. Wasted water can be detected if you check your water meter and then wait two hours without using any water at all. Check the meter again and see if it has changed. If the meter shows water use during those two hours you have a leak somewhere.
Water-wise Habits :
Save hundreds of gallons of water a year by taking shorter showers and turning off the water while you wash dishes or brush your teeth. Don't use your toilet for a garbage can. Avoid putting tissues, insects or other items in the toilet; only flush when you need to.
Big Changes - Big Savings:
Install low-flow fixtures in all of your bathrooms and flow restrictors on all of your household faucets. Replace your water-to-air air-conditioning system with a more effecient air-to-air model. Consider installing a tankless hot water heater. Tankless heaters produce hot water immediately, on demand and decrease the amount of time you have to wait for water from the faucet to run warm. Insulating your water pipes will help accomplish the same thing for standard water heaters.
