Crackers: How Can we save water

Malta Independent Thursday, 1 June 2006, 00:00 Last update: about 11 years ago

A thing that is important for us is water. Without it we cannot live. We use it at home to drink, to water the plants, etc. People use it in factories, farmers use for their plants and hospitals use it too. We need water so that we wash ourselves and to wash our clothes so that they would be clean. Without water the plants won’t live long. If we are thirsty we drink water so don’t waste water because one day we are going to search for it and won’t find it!

Tips on how to save water

•Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily.

•Take shorter showers.

•Never put water down the drain when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or garden, or cleaning.

•Always see that there are no taps dripping.

•Use the minimum amount of water needed for a bath by filling the tub only 1/3 full.

•Don’t let water run while washing your face or cleaning your teeth.

•If you have a well at your home use it for cleaning and watering the plants.

•Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water. Don’t worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts. And every person can make a difference. So tell your friends to start now…
