Saving water in each room of our house can be a starting point to save
water on a larger scale.
In this presentation we are going to give you some advice on how to
reduce your daily water consumption.

Finally, let’s visit the garden…

GardenDon’t water in the middle of the day, in windy conditions or if it
is likely to rain. Paths, patios and driveways must never be hosed. Use a broom,
rake, outdoor blower or vacuum. Recycled rainwater is an alternative source of water for the
garden.

10 principles of rational water management
![Page 10: How to save water?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/568166e2550346895ddb1894/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. When you brush your teeth or wash your face, pay attention to water and make sure water
taps are not loosened at all times.
![Page 11: How to save water?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081418/568166e2550346895ddb1894/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. When you wash your hands, the water stream does not have to flow with maximum force.

3. Take a quick shower instead of bathing in a bathtub! Full bath is about 180 gallons of water while
one minute of showering uses about 2 gallons of water.

4. If you bathe in a tub, do not pour water to the brim. Fill the bathtub one-third full. Remember to plug the tub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up.

5. Remember that you do not have to use the whole amount of water stored in a cistern each time you go to the toilet. Typically a water cistern has two buttons: a smaller one for less water and a larger one for more water. Use the buttons wisely depending on how much water is required.

6. Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Handkerchiefs,
diapers, etc. throw into the trash, not the toilet.

7. Replace all faucets with water-efficient models. Install aerators or fine-mesh nets which aerate the water. Thanks to these innovations the water flow will be stronger.

8. Use your dishwasher and washing machine only when
they are full.

9. Do not wash dishes under running water. When washing by hand, fill a sink compartment (or bowl) with water. Rinse quickly under a small stream of running water.

10. When washing a car, use water from a bucket, not a hose.
