Scene 2

Conserving water is important because it keeps water pure  and clean while protecting the environment. Conserving water involves refraining  from  water pollution. This requires the use of strategies that includes reducing wastage, prevent damaging water quality, and improve water management. Conserving water means using our water supply wisely and be responsible. As every individual depends on water for livelihood, we must learn how to keep our limited supply of water pure and away from pollution. Keeping our water supply safe and pure will protect the water for the generations to come.

Scene 3

We use water every day of our lives. It is required in almost everything we do. We need water for drinking, bathing, cooking, washing, and other countless activities.  Conserving water can also extend the life of our septic system by reducing soil saturation and reducing pollution due to leaks. Humans are not the only species on Earth that requires water for survival. In fact, every species on this planet needs water to live and survive. Overloading municipal sewer systems can also cause untreated sewage to flow to lakes and rivers. The  smaller the amount of water flowing through these systems, the lower the likelihood of pollution .  In some communities, costly sewage system expansion has been avoided by community-wide household water conservation. Clean, fresh water is a limited resource. With all the severe droughts happening in the world, the limited supply of fresh water is becoming one of our most precious resources. Every person on earth needs water to survive.

Scene 4

The average person wastes up to 0-45  litres  of water every day. To understand it better, it is 30% of water requirement per person per day. Down the drain :   We do not understand the wastage while doing small-small things as part of our daily routine. Not turning off the tap when brushing teeth, shaving, leakages, washing vehicles with fresh water are some of the ways we are wasting water on a daily basis.

Scene 5

Flush wisely : We use about 27% of water for bathing and toilet use. People tend to flush every time the toilet is used, A flush of the toilet uses six and a half gallons of water .  Washing the car : Using a hose to wash the car can use up gallons of water. If we leave the hose running, we can end up wasting almost 150 gallons of water.

Scene 6

Leaky faucets and toilets : Leaky tank valves draining water into the toilet waste up to 1,000 gallons of water a month. One of the most common culprits of water wastage at home is the leaky faucet and toilet. It may seem insignificant but the little drips can actually add up. A constantly leaking toilet can waste up to 22 gallons of water every day which adds up 8,000 gallons of water in a year.

Scene 7

Wasting water in the kitchen : The kitchen uses a lot of water and there are plenty of ways in which one may unknowingly waste it. Washing fruits and vegetables in running water will not get them any cleaner than washing them in a pan filled with water. Cooking also uses a lot of water, especially when one boil or steam vegetables

Scene 8

Use Clothes Washer for Only Full Loads: Washing a full load of laundry is the most water-efficient choice. Combine smaller wash loads into one and only wash when you have a full load. Every time the machine is used, you’re consuming water, so consolidating washes will be more efficient. Consider a High Efficiency Washing Machine : The most efficient washing machines use as little as seven gallons per load , compared to a whopping 54 for a traditional washer. When it comes to water efficiency, front loading washing machines are typically the best choice.  A  standard washing machine uses 33 gallons of water per load, but a highly efficient Energy Star-labeled washing machine uses 21 gallons of water, saving nearly 3,600 gallons of water per year.

Scene 9

Install Water-Saving Showerheads, Shower Timers, and Low-Flow Faucet Aerators :  “Low-flow” means it uses less than 2.5 gallons per minute. We can  easil  Water can also be saved by using the right type of tap or faucet. Aerators are modern taps that help save water. An aerator spreads the water in many droplets and maintains the flow of water. Besides, sensor taps are automatic shut-off taps with push-buttons, and also there are level-operated taps that shut off automatically after a set time.  Take Shorter Showers : A low-flow shower could be installed in the bathroom to reduce water consumption. These showers maintain the water pressure and use almost half the amount of water used by a regular shower . A four-minute shower uses approximately 20 to 40 gallons of water.

Scene 10

Water Conservation in the Home:-  TOILETS

Put Plastic Bottles or a Float Booster in Your Toilet Tank : To cut down on water waste, put an inch or two of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles. Fill the bottles with water, screw the lids on, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from the operating mechanisms.  Buy an Adjustable Toilet Flapper : Convert your toilets into low-flush ones by installing systems to lower water consumption. There are plenty of options available in the market. These include dual-flush toilet, interruptible flush cistern and pressure-assist toilet.

Scene 11

Check Faucets and Pipes for Leaks : The average household's leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year and ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. Common types of leaks found in the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking valves. Dry sinks and tubs thoroughly and allow to sit for an hour. If one notice wetness, he has found a leak. To find leaks from faucet handles, dry the area around them before running water.  Use Water Meter to Check for Hidden Water Leaks : Read the house water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

Scene 12

Water Conservation in the Home:- FAUCETS AND SINKS

Fit Household Faucets with Aerators : This easy and effective home water conservation method is also the cheapest. A simple low-flow aerator saves water in the bathroom, while a swiveling aerator can serve multiple purposes in the kitchen Turn Off the Water After We Wet our Toothbrush : There is no need to keep the water running while brushing our teeth. Just wet our brushes and fill a glass for mouth rinsing.

Scene 13

Insulate Water Pipes : It’s easy and inexpensive to insulate water pipes with pre-slit foam pipe insulation . One will get hot water faster plus avoid wasting water while it heats up. Recycle Your Water Where You Can : Collect the cold water one run before it’s hot enough to shower and use it to water plants or flush the toilet (known as a bucket flush). Rinse water from dishes and food preparation can be collected and used to soak other dishes.

Scene 14

Eat Less Water-Intensive Foods : Our diets account for roughly half of all the water we use. All food has a water footprint, but some are much larger than others. Eating less beef, one of the most water-intensive foods, is a smart place to start.  Buy Less : Consumer products are an often-overlooked source of water use, accounting for up to a third of most people’s water footprint. Buying less of everything—from clothing to electronics to household goods—can dramatically decrease your water footprint.
