Do you save water?..... How and Why?

drip irrigation system is now a days developed in my region (andhrapradesh) also, it is well suited for agriculture by saving the more water. And there are many new dams and projects are now constructing on indian rivers like krishna river, godavari river.. it is appreciable and its a favour to riots. And even in every village under Rural Development funds, Rs.35,000crores are released, majority share is to develop the rural water resources..

Yes, water crisis is one of the major issues facing mankind. We should live the way we preach! Leading by example is what I do. I started to save water consumption at home for 2 years now. Even though my state government subsidized our water bill, I did not take advantage or take for granted and simply waste water. Water is like our life, it supports many lives! 1) I filled up a 500ml plastic bottle with water. I put it in my toilet flusher tank so that the water that flow in from the inlet pipe is reduced by the weight/volume of the water in the bottle. Some houses, their toilet flusher has optional function : half flush and full flush. To those who don't have, this is a good idea to save water. Sometimes we do not need so much water (full flush) to flush the toilet, right? 2) I hand wash my clothes so that I can recycled the water. 1st rinse I would use to was the drain. 2nd rinse I would wash my car. 3rd rinse (water) I would use to soak another batch of clothes or wash my son school shoes. This means I reuse the water, save the environment, good exercise and save money too. It is a Win-Win situation. 3) Use watering can when watering the plant, this is better than just pouring directly. Watering can use less water - the amount is just enough for the plant. No wastage! In Israel, water is very expensive (deserted land), they came out a special watering system that provide "just enough" water for their plantation/orchard plants. 4) My mum will put a pail outside on rainy day to collect the rain water. She will use it to water her plants. 5) The water that she used to rinse the rice for cooking, she will keep in a basin for soaking used oily plates, bowls after dinner. Good idea? I really hope everyone will do their part, the cumulative effect can be felt!

It is us who will ensure the future of our young ones. Water management should be at the top of our priority list. If we won't save now then our race might be in danger. We should act now.

Of course! We all have our share to contribute to water management. At home, what i did was to get 2x3 box where we can all stand on when whenever we take a bath. We will utilize the used water for flushings and for cleaning the floors. Also, it would be wise to seek help from a plumber whenever there is a dripping faucet.

Of course! this is our responsibility.Everyone can contribute in this by changing bad habits and using water smartly.
