CLEAN, fresh drinking water is one of life’s inescapable necessities. A lot of effort and resources are required to ensure getting a drink of water whenever we need it is as easy as turning on your nearest tap.
Conserving water is not only environmentally responsible but can also save you money on water bills.
Inside:
Fix Leaky Taps: Even small leaks can waste a significant amount of water over time, so make sure to fix any leaks promptly.
Use Water-Saving Fixtures: Install water-saving showerheads and faucet aerators to reduce water flow without compromising functionality.
Limit Shower Time: Shorten shower times to minimize water usage. You can use the length of a song as a timer.
Install a Water Tank: Collect rainwater using a water tank for household and garden use. Rainwater harvesting can be particularly effective in areas with frequent rainfall.
In the Garden:
Plant Waterwise Species: Choose native plants that require less water for your garden. Native plants are adapted to the local climate and require minimal watering.
Efficient Lawn Care: Avoid over-watering lawns. Encourage deep root growth by watering less frequently but deeply. Raise mower levels and let grass grow longer during summer to reduce evaporation.
Follow Watering Restrictions: Adhere to local watering restrictions to ensure responsible water use.
