How To Minimize Water Usage In Summer?
Some very obvious things that we do in our day to day chores at home can decrease the usage of water. To conserve water in summer, you can try these practices.
Tips
To
Reduce
Usage
Of
Water
In
Summers:
1.
Switch
That
Tap
Off:
Most
of
the
water
in
your
tank
is
being
wasted
while
you
brush
your
teeth
leisurely
or
scrub
your
plates
leaving
the
tap
on.
You
must
open
the
tap
for
water
only
when
you
are
going
to
use
water.
Water
is
precious,
especially
in
the
hot
summers
when
most
people
do
not
get
24
hours
water
supply.
2. Check For Leaks: Most often you use up more water unintentionally because your taps are loose. They keep dripping water even when you have turned them off. Just imagine how much water is being wasted daily because of a leak that can be fixed in 2 minutes! Either shut the tap tightly or get the leak fixed.
3. Low Power Washing Machine: Washing Machines use water in huge amounts. You cannot stop washing your clothes. But you can definitely take the effort to run the washing machine on low powder instead of going for intensive washes for your regular wear.
4. Adjust Water Temperature: It is easy to say that your water usage during taking showers should be curtailed. However, it is not so easy to take shorter showers. What you can do instead is adjust the temperature of the shower properly. If you use too much hot water then you will also have to use equal proportion of cold water to balance it. It is much better to use lukewarm water so that you spend less on the volume.
5. Keep The Drains Clean: Most often more water goes down the drain when it is clogged. We tend to pour down water thinking it will open up. Keep all the drains cleaned up as part of your usual summer cleaning. The kitchen sink in particular needs your attention because you will be doing the dishes here and that takes lots of water.
6. Thaw Without Water: It is our customary practice to drown meat or fish in water to thaw it. There is a simple alternative; you can keep the frozen foods overnight in the fridge instead of the freezer and it will thaw on it's own.
7. Water Rations: To save water in the summers you have ration out portions. For example, wash dishes in a basin full of water instead of doing so under the tap.
