HOW TO SAVE WATER

When you brush your teeth, use mouthwash cup instead of running water ! You will use only 0.5 liters instead of 16 liters !

When you brush your teeth or face, make sure water is not running.

• When you wash your hands, the stream of water does not have to flow with maximum force.

• Take a quick shower rather than bathe in the tub! Full bath is about 180 liters of water, while one minute of showering takes about 10 liters of water.

• When taking a bath, do not pour water to the brim. Fill the bathtub to its 1/3 of capacity. Be sure to use the drain plug first. Cold water will pour in the tub only for few seconds, then it will become warmer.

• Remember that you do not have to empty the whole water tank every time you are using the toilet. Typically the water tank is equipped with two buttons - a smaller and a larger one. Always use the smaller one.

• Avoid unnecessary flushing the toilet. Throw the used toilet paper into the bin rather than to the toilet.

• Repair dripping faucets. If the faucet is dripping at a frequency of "drop per second" - it makes 11935 liters of water per year!

• Change the taps to ones that will save water. You may just install the aerators, or install the thick mesh that will aerate the running water. As a result, the stream of water will become stronger.

• Use dishwashers and washing machines only when they are full.

• Do not wash the dishes with running water. Instead, fill one of the sink’s compartments with soapy water. Then, rinse the washed dishes with a small stream of running water.

• When washing a car, use water from a bucket, not a hose .

• Do not pour water if you can use it for eg . watering flowers, garden, or cleaning .
