Ways to Save
Water
By Ms Trad
Australia does not get much rain so
it is very important to help save
water.
Do you leave the tap running when
you clean your teeth?
It is better to turn off the tap.
Rinse your mouth with a cup of
water instead because a running tap
wastes a lot of water.
On hot days we all like to drink lots
of water.
It is good to keep jugs and bottles of
water in the fridge.
This is a faster way to get cool water
than by running the tap.
It also saves water from going down
the drain.
When it’s time to clean the car don’t
use a hose.
Use a bucket of soapy water first.
Then use the hose to rinse.
Did you know that some people stay
a long time in the shower?
This uses a lot of water. It is better
to take quick showers.
A quick shower means a short
shower.
A quick shower also uses less water
than filling the bath.
When watering the garden it is best
to do it in the morning and in the
evening.
This is when it is cool. Otherwise the
sun will evaporate the water.
A washing machine and dishwasher
both use lots of water.
So it is best to fill them before you
use them.
Only run them when they full.
This will save lots of water.
If you wash the dishes by hand this
uses less water than the dishwasher.
It is best to put the plug in first.
Then fill the sink with water.
This saves water from going down
the drain.
