6 Ways to Conserve Water
1. TURN OFF THE WATER.
When brushing our teeth and washing our hair we
somehow use water excessively because we tend to
keep it running even if it’s not in use.
2. CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Every now and then it happens that we get leaks in
our bathroom or sinks and it’s best advised that we
check and repair immediately because even small leaks
could cause excessive amount of extra water usage
and not to mention, the extra bill.
3. RAINWATER HARVESTING.
These past few months it has undeniably been raining
day-to-day in our country. Believe it or not, the rain
could actually be put to use in terms of water
conservation. It provides an alternative supply of water,
reduces water bill and help maintain a green, healthy
garden.
4. TRY USING FEWER PLATES AND
CUPS.
5. RE-USE/RECYCLE WATER.
You don’t have to put down the drain an already
used/excess water because you could use it for
another purpose like, watering a plant or your garden
and in that way it wouldn’t go to waste.
6. TEACH YOUR KIDS.
It’s important that every one in your household knows
the importance of water conservation, especially the
kids. It wouldn’t work if you do it alone while every
one else is doing their own thing.
5 Ways to Attain Safe Water for Domestic
Uses
1. BOILING.
Boiling water is one of the surest and most reliable
way to purify water, only if done correctly. It is one of
the oldest method for purification and is still used all
over the world today.
2. USE CHLORINE DROP.
Chlorine can’t only kill bacteria’s but is also
lightweight, affordable, and of easy access. But you
have to wait for at least 30 minutes before you could
drink the water and make sure to not put so much
drops as it can be poisonous.
3. USE ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT.
Looks similar to a small flashlight, handy and easy to
use. It could kill the bacteria just by swishing it around
in the water for a few minutes. However, it couldn’t
filter the solid particles in the water.
4. PAPER/CLOTH FILTER.
Simple and basic type of materials used as filtration
unit. Mostly they are used as pre-filters to strain out
larger particles but are not enough to filter the smaller,
disease causing organisms.
5. USE SEDIMENTATION.
When there’s nothing available to use for water
filtration, large particles can be removed by letting the
water settle for an hour or two. It will cause the
heavier particles to sink to the bottom leaving the
lighter one’s to float.
You think our water supply is
limitless? Well then, think
again. Do not ever take water for
granted. Starting today make a
change, a good kind of change.
Conserve water and make it safe
for every one to benefit from.
That is all. Thank you!
