• Why Should We Save Water?
• Of all the water in the world, only 3 is fresh
• Less than one third of 1 of this fresh water is
  available for human use.
• The rest is frozen in glaciers or polar ice caps,
  or is deep within the earth, beyond our reach
• To put it another way, if 100 liters represents
  the world's water, about half a tablespoon of it
  is fresh water available for our use
• It is a resource which is a boon for everyone

A to Z Tips to Save Water
A dripping tap could waste as much as 90 liters a
week. Brushing your teeth with the tap running
wastes almost 9 liters a minute. Rinse out from a
tumbler instead. Cool water kept in the fridge
means you won't have to run the tap for ages to
get a cold drink. Don't use your washing
machine until you've got a full load. A full load
uses less water than 2 half loads. Every time
you boil an egg save the cooled water for your
houseplants. They'll benefit from the nutrients
released from the shell. Fit a water saving
device in your cistern and save up to three
liters a flush.

Grow your grass a little longer. It will stay
greener than a close mown lawn and need less
watering. Hoeing stimulates the growth of
plants, reduces water loss from the soil surface
and removes weeds that take up valuable water and
nutrients. Installing a water meter can save you
water and money by monitoring how much you use.
Just taking a five minute shower very day,
instead of a bath, will use a third of the water,
saving up to 400 liters a week. Kettles should
be filled with enough water for your needs but
not to the brim. This will reduce your fuel bills
too. Lag your pipes to avoid bursts and leave
your heating on a low setting while you are out
in cold weather to prevent pipes freezing.

Mulch for moisture in the garden. Adding a layer
of tree bark, compost, coconut husks or even
newspaper keeps the sun off the soil and retains
precious moisture. No further watering is
usually required for established trees and
shrubs. Once a week is all the watering your
lawn needs even in the hottest weather.
Purchasing a water butt will help you to collect
rain water for use on the garden. Question your
local garden center about the water requirements
of different plants. Some thrive in drier
conditions. Replacing a toilet cistern can save
water. Sprinklers can be wasteful. A sprinkler
can use as much water in an hour as a family of
four will use in a day!

Trigger nozzles can save water by using it only
when needed. Use the dirty water when cleaning a
fish tank on your houseplants. It's rich in
nitrogen and phosphorus, which provides an
excellent fertilizer. Very 'water efficient'
washing machines and dishwashers are now
manufactured. You'll find that they save on
energy too. Water your garden at the coolest
part of the day to reduce evaporation.
Xeriscape means to use plants that require less
water. You can use less water by turning the
hot tap down, rather than the cold tap up, if you
require cooler water. Z The end of the alphabet
but not the end of water saving ideas - why dont
you tell us of any you've discovered?

• New adaptive habits which uses more water in day
  to day life
• Increase in farming because farmers start growing
  more crops
