Ways to conserve water

Posted on January 10, 2021January 10, 2022 by Juggle

Water is a precious resource, and we must conserve it in every way possible . Here are 10 tips to reduce your usage of water so that everyone on this planet can continue to enjoy clean drinking water for many years to come!


Turning Off Water While Brushing Your Teeth
Standing there while you’re brushing your teeth and letting the water just run down the drain is a huge waste of water. Turn off the tap as soon as you’ve finished brushing, and then turn it back on again when you need to rinse.

Take Shorter Showers
We all know that the average shower is typically 8-10 minutes, but how many of you actually stay in the shower for that entire time? Be quicker!


Catch water for plants while it heats up
If you’re waiting for the hot water to get back to normal temperature, grab a container and catch the cold water. You can use the cold water for house plants, or wherever else you need it.

Catch Rain Water for Watering Plants
One successful way to conserve water and live more sustainably is by catching rain runoff from your gutters that will eventually end up as wasted water. Put a container in your gutter, and catch the water from when it rains. You can use this for watering plants or other purposes that don’t require clean drinking water

Take Showers instead of Baths
Believe it or not, a shower can use less water than a bath. Filling up the tub takes more water than you need to bathe in. Switch out most of your bathing for showers.

Turn Off Water While Soaping Up
One way to conserve water and live more sustainably is to keep showers short. Another way to conserve water during a shower is to turn off the tap while you’re soaping up, and then turning it back on again when you need to rinse.


Prune Plants Well
Growing plants? Make sure to prune the plants and discard any unwanted parts, as this will help conserve water. That’s because you aren’t wasting water on parts of the plant that you don’t want or may be dying.

Fill the Dishwasher All the Way before Running
When washing dishes, only run the dishwasher when it is full. This way, you conserve water by not running the dishwasher until it is full.

Use Leftover Cooking Water
When we make pasta or steam vegetables, the water used to cook each becomes reusable and can be used in soups. Or allow it to cool and use it on your plants in the garden.

Fix Leaky Taps Immediately
Dripping tap? Get in contact with a plumber right away! One dripping tap can waste gallons of water quickly.

Making the most of your water
Conserving water can be fun, too! Thinking of new and fun ways that you might wash your car and do laundry will save both resources and leave enough for future generations.
