How to Save Water

Water covers 70% of the earth, but only 1% is easily reachable. Water is a necessary resource for living on the earth, so reducing the amount of water used is a good way to take action. Water saving can be simple, and starts at home. There are several strategies to help you conserve water, whether you are washing clothes, washing dishes, brushing your teeth or watering plants.

Check the faucet, toilet and piping for leaks. Unknown leaks at your home may waste 3,000 gallons (11,000 liters) of water annually. Therefore, please check whether there is a leak in the pipe, especially in the toilet or faucet. [1]

If a leak is found, please locate the cause of the leak and correct it. If the situation is severe, you may need to ask the plumber for help and check if your homeowner's insurance or tenant's insurance covers the damage it causes. [2]

If you are not sure if the toilet is leaking, add food coloring to the tank and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes without rinsing. After a while it will leak if you see the food coloring in the toilet. [3]

Please replace with low water level or double water wash type toilet. Regular toilets use 3 to 4 times more water, whereas low flush toilets use less than 6 gallons (6.1 liters) of water per flush. In a double flush toilet, you can wash away solid waste with less water by flushing liquid waste and more water with the right button. [9]

You can purchase a double flash conversion kit to convert a water-intensive toilet into a water-saving device. Search devices such as SelectAFlush and TwoFlush online. They all work hard and save money

Not all toilets can be washed off with a small amount of water, so be sure to check the toilet. If you reduce the amount of water and do not rinse your toilet needs more water

Five little laundries. Many clothes such as jeans and sweaters do not need to wash every time. Please check which clothes are really dirty and which clothes are worn again. This not only saves water, it also reduces wear and tear on clothes! [15]

Especially when you take a shower before going to bed, it is normal to wear pajamas 2 or 3 times before bathing.

I will exchange socks and underwear everyday, but please wear casual pants, jeans, skirt many times during laundry

When wearing a sweatshirt or a sweater on another shirt, it is only necessary to periodically clean the inner layer.

The dishwasher saves water compared to hand washing. At the same time, no one thought of ways to achieve this savings. Actually, there is nothing more than this, so you can save water by rinsing water. The rinse period is several times shorter than the main duty cycle. Given that the dishwasher's device is more "toxic", the logical rinse process should be more thorough. After all, we will save the amount of water we consume, but it will hurt our health. This sacrifice may be an unfair price for health.

Domestic water conservation: A country short of water can conserve water by importing goods that consume a large amount of water, not domestically. The amount of water used in domestic production is water saving nationwide, in other words, the importation of virtual water. Worldwide conservation of water: International trade can save water in the world if goods consuming large amounts of water are traded from high water area to low water area. The difference between the amount of water used by the exporting country and the amount of water used by the importing country for the same production is global saving. From 1997 to 2001, international trade of agricultural products accounted for 6% of the world's agricultural water usage, so the world saved 352 Gm 3 per year.
