Water is an important factor in the life of all life on our planet. Meanwhile, in the world there is a decrease in the volume of fresh water, which is so necessary for humans and animals. To cope with this problem, social programs and developments of scientists alone are not enough; the help of each person is needed. Moreover, it can be provided when performing the most ordinary affairs.
Instructions
Step 1
Save water. This will not only make a significant contribution to maintaining the water balance on the planet, but also significantly save the family budget.
Step 2
Wash your dishes in the dishwasher. If you load it completely, the amount of water used to clean the dishes will be half the amount needed to wash them under the tap.
Step 3
If you do not have such a technique, wash the dirty dishes in the sink with the stopper closed. When doing this, try to use the minimum amount of cleaning agents. After washing the dishes in this manner, change the water and rinse them in clean water. Even changing the water several times, you will not waste the amount that could pour out of a constantly open tap.
Step 4
When cooking, wash all vegetables and fruits not under the tap, but in a saucepan of water. In this case, you should start with cleaner plants.
Step 5
Only run the washing machine when the drum is fully loaded. At the same time, try not to use the extra rinse mode.
Step 6
Use a shower instead of a bath. This will reduce the volume of consumed water several times. In addition, such a procedure is more beneficial for the body and takes less time. You should also turn off the water while soaping.
Step 7
Wash your face and wash your hands under a small stream of water. Indeed, often a very small amount of water is needed for washing, and the rest of it is spilled in vain. You can also turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, or use a glass when rinsing your mouth.
Step 8
Use rainwater for irrigation. It is suitable for both indoor plants and those growing in flower beds. You can collect it in buckets or large barrels. It all depends on the required volume.
Step 9
Fix all the plumbing. A constantly dripping faucet or toilet can spend several buckets of water per day. And on the toilet, put a cistern with a double flush system.
Step 10
While in nature, do not throw garbage not only into the water, but also on the ground nearby. Indeed, with contaminated soil, there can be no clean water bodies.
