Daily conservation in a family
 Turn off tap while cleaning your
teeth, shaving or washing your
face. The waste leads to 9 liters a
minute by just letting the water
pour down the sink.

11.
 Take a short shower rather
than a bath could save you up
to 400 liters a week. If you
do have baths, just half fill
them.

12.
 Only use the washing machine and the dishwasher
when you can put on a full load. It wastes both
water and energy to run only a half full machine.

13.
Daily conservation in a family
 Usea broom and bucket of
water for washing down the
patio rather than a steady
flow of water from the hose.

14.
Use a sponge and bucket of
water to clean your car or if you
use the hose, ensure you use a
shut off nozzle so the water is
not constantly running.

15.
Fix any dripping tap, you might
waste 90 liters a week.
