Below is a list of 45
simple tips and suggestions as to how you can save water in your daily
life and be an example for others of good water stewardship. How about
printing the list - or a portion of it - in your club newsletter, or
pass the ideas on to others?
1. There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start
with you.
2. When washing dishes
by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash
water and the other (or a plastic tub) with rinse water.
3.
Soak pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape
them clean.
4. Install an instant water heater near
your kitchen sink so you don't have to run the water while it heats
up. This also reduces energy costs.
5. Insulate your
water pipes. You'll get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while
it heats up.
6. If your dishwasher is new, cut back
on rinsing. Newer models clean more thoroughly than older ones.
7.
Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are
full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
8. When
buying new appliances, consider those that offer cycle and load size
adjustments. They're more water and energy efficient.
9. For
cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of
running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain.
10.
Buy a water filter for your home to reduce bottled water consumption.
11.
Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running
water from the tap, and reuse it to water houseplants.
12. When
cleaning out fish tanks, give the nutrient-rich water to your plants
(inside or out)
13. When you give your pet freshwater, don't throw the old water down the drain. Use it to water
your trees or shrubs.
14. If you accidentally drop
ice cubes when filling your glass from the freezer, don't throw them in
the sink. Drop them in a house plant instead.
15. If
your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace
the showerhead with a water-efficient, low-flow model.
16. Shorten
your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per
month.
17. Turn off the water while you wash your
hair to save up to 150 gallons a month.
18. When
running a bath, plug the tub before turning the water on, then adjust
the temperature as the tub fills up.
19. Turn off
the water while brushing your teeth and save 25 gallons a month.
20.
Turn off the water while you shave and save up to 300 gallons a
month.
21. When you are washing your hands, don't
let the water run while you lather.
22. Conserve
water because it is the right thing to do. Don't waste water just
because someone else is footing the bill, such as when you are staying
at a hotel.
23. Verify that your home is leak-free,
because many homes have hidden water leaks. Read your water meter
before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the
meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.
24. Grab a wrench and fix leakyfaucets by replacing washers. It's simple, inexpensive, and you
can save 140 gallons a week. (If your faucet is dripping at the rate of
one drop per second, you can expect to waste 2,700 gallons per year.)
25. We're more likely to notice leaks indoors, but
don't forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses for leaks.
26.
Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet
bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000
gallons a month.
27. If your toilet was installed
before 1992, reduce the amount of water used for each flush by
inserting a displacement device in the tank (a brick works great!).
28. Teach your children to turn off faucets
tightly after each use.
29. Plant in the fall when
conditions are cooler and rainfall is more plentiful.
30.
Collect water from your roof to water your garden.
31.
Water your plants deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root
growth and drought tolerance.
32. For hanging
baskets, planters and pots, place ice cubes under the moss or dirt to
give your plants a cool drink of water and help eliminate water
overflow
33. Aerate your lawn at least once a year
so water can reach the roots rather than run off the surface
34.
Use sprinklers that deliver big drops of water close to the ground.
Smaller water drops and mist often evaporate before they hit the
ground. Don't water your lawn on windy days.
35. Avoid
over fertilizing your lawn. The application of fertilizers increases
the need for water. Apply fertilizers which contain slow-release,
water-insoluble forms of nitrogen.
36. Set a kitchen timer when watering
your lawn or garden to remind you when to stop. A running hose can
discharge up to 10 gallons a minute.
37. Adjust
your lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller lawn shades roots and
holds soil moisture better than if it is closely clipped.
38.
Wash your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs
water.
39. Consider using a commercial car wash that
recycles water. If you wash your own car, park on the grass to do so.
40. Do not hose down your driveway or sidewalk.
Use a broom to clean leaves and other debris from these areas. Using a
hose to clean a driveway can waste hundreds of gallons of water.

41. Create an awareness of the need for water
conservation among your children. Avoid the purchase of recreational
water toys which require a constant stream of water.
42. Encourage
your school system and local government to develop and promote water
conservation among children and adults.
43. Encourage
your employer to promote water conservation at the workplace. Suggest
that water conservation be put in the employee orientation manual and
training program.
44. Patronize businesses which
practice and promote water conservation.
45. When
you save water, you save money on your utility bills too. Saving water is easy for everyone to do!

protect the water
Water is a kind of liquid. It has no taste or smell. It is transparent, too. Water is useful and is important to us. Why? For example, we use water to water the plants. We use water to wash our face or to have a bath. We drink water or we will die…Water is also very important for China. There are 2.8 hundred millions of steres of water in China, but everyone can only use 2300 steres. It is only twenty–five per sent in the world.
Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau. He loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea. However, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea. Jacques Cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea. He started the“ Cousteau Society ” to help protect life in the sea. Now there are over 30000 members all over the world. Since water covers most of the earth, Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. We should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts. As water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.
There are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world. For example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea near by. The water there has become very dirty and we can’t use them at all. Although there are seventy–five per sent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little. So we should use little water when we need to use it. For example, I do not use too much water when I am washing my face or having a bath… It is important for us to keep the water clean. You may ask yourself, have I ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? If your answer is “No”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment. It is our duty to protect the environment. You may ask yourself again, have I ever helped to clean up the water? If your answer is “Yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water. If we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe. It is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! I believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected. You do not want to “kill” your son or your grandson, do you? So now let us to protect the water! Please don’t let the last drop of water on the earth is we human’s tear!

Turn off the water tap right after you finish using water.
