As the quick expansion of the city,so many large cities are facing a severe problem of lacking water,especially China is on the list of water shortage countries.I can never forget the anxious face of my parents in the past drought years,so I rarely waste water in the daily life,and I usually use the bathing water to flush toilet and water the flowers,and take a shower not a bath as much as possible. How do you do to save water?Saving water is really a good deed to our earth and offsprings and ourselves.

Hello ann101, we have a problem with regards to the water. one, there is a problem regarding our meter because it's faster than it's supposed to be and then there's a leak in one of the tubes, although we tried to seal it but it didn't work.. but despite of that we decided that every night we would shut down the main water pipe to be sure that we are not going to have an expensive bill. but i am saving money to replace the so-called broken meter

You can change the leak tubes for a new one LetranKnight,it's not too expensive and leaking water can cost much money too.

My daughter is too small to understand and now usually we have to wash several sets of her clothes a day.Luckily we have a well in our yard to wash the clothes.

There's no better way than cyclic utilization. That's what i do. And buying environmental house appliance is an effective way too. Unfortunately they are usually more expensive.

The price of water has been growing these years and although the environmental house appliance will cost more money buy from the long seeing the saving of water can pay back.

I save water by just taking a shower for 3-5 minutes. It does not only saves water actually..becuase I can save time as well.

Yes, i really saved water.We should save water because every drop counts..When I washed my clothes, i really used the waste water for cleaning the car, watering the plants and flushing the toilet.. We really need to save water to help the water shortage of our country and the whole world..

of all the things that i should save..i don't know why i keep on wasting water..i like seeing water flow freely and i don't really care whether i'm wasting it or no..i know i have to conserve water for the future generation but my body can't help but use too much water everyday..every hour i go to washroom and wash my feet and arms..even if i'm washing the plates..i like the water pouring non-stop..i know it's bad but i feel like i'm losing my mind if i'm not seeing a flowing water..i guess i should live near the beach..

I like seeing the flowing water too and once when I was in a bad mood I used to open the faucet and see the water flowing then I would feel better.A method is to put a container under the faucet and close the faucet after pouring enough water,if you think it's not clean washing in the container then you can wash them again with little flow water.

Hey buddy yeah i always try to save water as much as i can. I prefer taking a bucket to bath than to use shower as it consumes much water. Also i avoid wasting of water in all the ways i can. Moreover i encourage the people around me to save water too. So this way I run my little Save Water Campaign. :)
