5 simple things you can do everyday to SAVE water

Water Day Day is an annual event observed on March 22 every year, to celebrate the precious resource, water and raise awareness about water related issues.

t is a United Nations initiative to celebrate clean water and bring attention to those who don’t have enough of it.

It's also a day to understand the valuable significance of water, discuss and conserve this finite resource in the future. It's important to remember that a drop of water is powerful and life giving.

Water conservation should become an essential practice in all regions, even in areas where water seems abundant.

We should use water as efficiently as possible because we rely a lot on water.

Water conservation is not just the responsibility of the government and authorities. Every individual’s contribution plays a vital role in saving water.

 And hence, it is imperative to be an active participant in the programmes that aim at saving water.

1. While brushing your teeth, please DO NOT keep the tap open. The water running from the tap goes waste. It’s wrong to let water go waste like this.
2. Instead of taking bath under the shower, fill up a bucket or two of water. This will limit the usage of water.
3. Even while washing utensils, instead of keeping tap open, fill up a small tub with water to rinse it well. You can repeat the rinsing process again if need be.
4. Reuse water wherever you can. You can probably collect the water that gets drained from your washing machine and use it for flushing toilets. This will minimise the use of fresh water.
5. Speak to your neighbours and set up a rain water harvesting system in your building/society so that you can make constructive use of the water that otherwise goes waste during monsoons. This water can come in handy when you face water shortage from the municipal office.
