In the wake of the country running low on water in reservoirs, time is more crucial than ever to save water.
Tips and measures can be applied to ease the strain on our water supply and do our part to conserve water.• Ditch the bottled water – it takes three litres of tap water to make one litre of bottled water.• Take a 5-minute shower and save up to 100 litres that baths can use.• Turn off the water while washing your hair.• Don’t use water-based toys like water guns and water balloons.
• If you have a pool, don’t fill it to the top – splashing leads to serious waste.• Fix leaky taps – even a slow drip can waste 30 litres a day.• If you fill two sinks; one with soapy water and one with warm water for rinsing, this will use less water than a dishwasher.• Sweep away leaves and debris rather than using a hose to spray them away.• Put buckets in the shower for runoff water and underdrains to catch water during rain for your garden.• Water your garden after 18:00.
