This is the first ever guest post on this blog. It was written by Gagandeep Singh in response to the Tokyo Tap campaign post post. Gagandeep is working as SEO Consultant for Miami web design Company. I had to accept this post not only because it is in line with the ongoing World Water Week but also because it is simple and straight to the point. Enjoy!
The 20 simple tips to save water are as follows:
- Stop Leakage of water from taps. Around 30 liters of water is wasted by a slow dripping tap in 24 hours.
- Use the minimum amount of water needed for bath.
- Don’t waste dirty water .You can use that dirty water to water your plants.
- Water your garden during early morning or late evening so as to reduce the evaporation.
- Wash vegetables and fruits in Bowl rather than washing them under tap.
- Don’t leave the tap open while brushing you teeth or shaving.
- Wash clothes only when there is full load.
- Consider using a car duster to remove dust instead of pressure hose.
- Avoid installation of fountains and other ornamental water features.
- Prefer broom instead of sprinklers to clean your sidewalks and streets.
- Don’t flush the toilet unnecessarily and use toilet paper as much as possible.
- Try to cover your swimming pool when not in use to reduce evaporation.
- Upgrade older toilets with water efficient models.
- Try to use Commercial car wash service which recycle water.
- Promote the conservation of water with posters and media.
- Use Dip irrigation method for irrigation purposes.
- Install a rain sensor system on irrigation to save water while its raining.
- Teach your children to turn off your faucets tightly after each use.
- Implement rainwater harvesting systems to collect rain water and use it in future.
- Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.

Additionally you can save a lot of water just by drinking water instead of soda / juice.
One nice thing I had seen somewhere is that beer is the most “water efficient” alcoholic beverage!

I’m just wondering whenever i go to a commercial establishments, i always see a urinal saying “this urinal saves 10,000 liters of water every year”. How did they know that you will save 10,000 liters if few people are using it.

Great tips on conserving water!
For those of us who choose a shower over a bath, you might try turning the shower head off while you lather, then back on to rinse.
This saves a bunch of water as well.

There are also toilets combined with basins. It’s very efficient to use the same water twice.

Great tips. I live in Atlanta, GA and we just came out from under a 5 or 6 year drought. It has made us all a lot more conscious of water, and how much we are capable of wasting if we do not make the effort to conserve.

All great ideas!

I will admit I’m bad about water use. I could do better about making the kids turn the water off when they are brushing their teeth and not playing in the water when washing their hands.
I also don’t follow my own advice…particularly when doing the dishes or brushing my teeth..etc.

I love it when post actually contain advice that I can implement right away. This is one of them! Thank you. We MUST SAVE PLANET EARTH, AND DO IT TODAY…
50% of my articles talk about how to use recycled materials for beautiful and crafty projects. It can be done so easily, so why not. It’s merely about bringing awareness and offering ideas on how to do things with the environment in mind. It’s just a shift about ‘what’s superior’. Finally we are seeing that being green is better than buying new. Ahhh…
btw
Amazing how guest bloggers can shine additional light sometimes on what we are looking at most.
Good for you for opening up to new opportunities like this.

Great tips! I really liked your recommendation to go to commercial carwashes that use recylced water. I never EVER thought of that and wounldn’t have even known they existed. I’m definitely going to look up on Google if there are any near me.

Hi and thanks for the great tips.
I only have a bath and I know that when you bath you use more water than when you shower. I’m renting at the moment, but looking for a place of my own. One requirement is it must have a shower.
So little people try and save water, if more and more people did it then I think it would have a bigger impact.

Great tips.
I have searching for ways to save water.
Although I care more about dropping my water bill at this point then saving the environment.

These are some really awesome ideas! My wife and I are always looking to for ways to save water around the house. I will definitely suggest that my office building install rain sensitive sprinklers because I’ve seen them on while it’s raining!

I’m really surprised that no one has suggested one of the biggest ways of saving water and that is collecting it from the sky…install a water butt!

I’d warn people to buy a good plunger if they get a low flow toilet. Our new house has one and to can plug rather easily.
