From cleaning the dishes to washing clothes, most of the household chores involve water. However, most of the time being involved in these daily processes we end up using a lot of water than what we actually require. Maybe willingly or unwillingly! Sometimes it happens as we tend to wrap up our work at the earliest or otherwise we are just simply misusing the available water. There are so many places on earth where water scarcity is a major problem hence, we must do our part to conserve it before it gets too late. If you are someone who shares similar views on the importance of saving water, especially during this hour of need then follow these simple instructions.

Most of us keep the tap running while doing our household routine. It makes more sense to fill up a bucket and continue working by using the fetched water. This one effective step can save so much water from getting wasted.

Nobody likes cleaning the bathroom but we have to do it regularly. If you are going to take a shower, save the used water to clean your washroom with it.

If you are doing any other household chores that involve water, you can reuse the water for your plants. Just make sure that the water is free from any chemicals.

We love taking long showers, don’t we? But, your shower concerts can only create more water wastage than any good. It is best to not take an extra shower in a day if there’s no absolute emergency.

Once you’re done with your household activities make sure you turn off all the taps properly to avoid dripping of water and creating more wastage.
