18 Easy Water Saving Tips
  1. Never leave a tap running.
  2. Teach your children to shut taps properly.
  3. Fix all leaking taps, pipes or toilet systems in your home immediately.
  4. Avoid using a hose as far as possible. Hosing usually wastes water.
  5. Wash your car or motorcycle less often. Use a bucket and a damp cloth or sponge.
  6. Water your plants with a watering can. Water your plants at the roots, not the leaves.
  7. Mop your floor instead of using a hose or splashing water from a bucket.
  8. Sweep your porch or driveway outside your home instead of using a hose.
  9. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Turn it on only to rinse.
  10. Turn off the tap when you are soaping your hands. Turn it only to rinse.
  11. Turn off the shower when you are soaping your body. Turn it on only to rinse.
  12. Take shorter showers
  13. Fill and plug your the sink when washing/rinsing food, dishes and cutlery.
  14. Install “double-flush” toilet systems. A half-flush usually does the job.
  15. Use your washing machine only when you have a full load of clothes.
  16. Do not leave the water running when washing clothes by hand.
  17. Do not flush rubbish down the toilet. Put it in the rubbish bin.
