The rise in prices has been changing (and a lot) the financial situation of families, as such, whenever possible, cuts should be made to avoid and reduce unnecessary expenses. In addition, we are increasingly in a time when it is important to take care of our planet and our resources, so saving water can be a solution to combat two major evils today.1. Turning off the faucets
It may seem obvious, but the truth is that there are still many people who forget to turn off the faucets while taking a shower, brushing their teeth, etc... On average, running a tap while washing our hands can spend about liters of water, while if it is only used when necessary, this consumption can be reduced to just liters.2. Shower and use water.
If we keep the logic that we should turn off the tap when we are not using the water, the shower will always be a good option. However, despite all efforts, it is possible that there is a waste of water, so the ideal would be to place a small bucket or container in the shower and use the water that falls there for other functions, such as, for example, the flush toilet.3. Pay attention to the flush toilet
We must check for water leaks, and of course reduce the volume of water released in the flushes, in this way, we are making a significant reduction in water consumption.4. Dripping
taps A dripping tap every 5 minutes for 24 hours corresponds to about 30 liters of water wasted in a single day. Checking that the taps seal well and making the necessary adjustments will help to reduce water consumption.5. Control kitchen consumption
Water should only be used when necessary and in the required quantity. For example, it makes no sense to defrost food under running water or to use more water than necessary to boil an egg.6. Do not use the water to “sweep”
When talking about gardens or patios, people tend to use the hose as a way to sweep the garbage, however, the water must be used for cleaning and not for sweeping, since the Waste of water is huge in these situations.
These are just a few tips, probably very simple ones, on how to reduce water consumption at home, anyway, a brief search on the internet will not only give you more tips but also suggest alternatives for all tastes.
