METHODS USED FOR
WATER CONSEVATION

OATS

The oat, sometimes called the common oat, is a species of
cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same
name. While oats are suitable for human consumption as
oatmeal and rolled oats, one of the most common uses is
as livestock feed. Oats are grown in temperate regions.
They have a lower summer heat requirement and greater
tolerance of rain than other cereals, so are particularly
important in areas with cool, wet summers.

BROWN RICE

Brown rice (or “hulled” or “unmilled” rice) is whole grain rice.
It has a mild, nutty flavor, and is chewier and more nutritious

than white rice, but goes rancid more quickly because the
bran and germ — which are removed to make white rice —

contain fats that can spoil. Any rice, including long-grain,
short-grain, or glutinous rice, may be eaten as brown rice.

CONSERVE WATER,
CONSERVE LIFE

Using water-saving methods Homes with high-efficiency

can save our money and plumbing fixtures and appliances

diverts less water from rivers save about 30 percent of indoor

which helps keep the water use and yield substantial

environmental healthy. It can savings on water, sewer, and energy

also reduce water and bills. Conserving water also prevents

wastewater treatment costs greenhouse gas emissions

and the amount of energy associated with treating and

used to treat, pump, and heat distributing water. Conserving water
water. This lowers energy
can also extend the life of your
demand, which helps prevent septic system by reducing soil
air pollution. As our population saturation and reducing pollution
continues to grow, demands due to leaks. (Water Conservation &

TECHNIQUES USED

RAINWATER HARVESTING

Rainwater harvesting systems can vary from the
fundamental little ones similar to the connection of a water
butt to a water down-pipe, to the impressively planned
enormous ones like those which gather water from huge
territories and serve ground breaking quantities of
properties. With regards to homegrown purposes, these
frameworks are applicable to both business and
homegrown properties. At the point when gathered, water
can be utilized for garden water system, latrine flushing,
and surprisingly in washing machines.

EFFICIENT TAPS

Water-efficient taps work in two ways, they can
either reduce the water flow rate through the
tap or they can support the user to avoid
wastage of water by automatically turning it off.
Sensor taps can be seen in almost every
shopping mall or airports, it will automatically
sense the individual’s presence and the wateR
flows will be turned off using infrared sensors.
Leaky taps should be fixed to avoid wasting
water going down the drain every time.

WATER SAVING SHOWER

Set a timer on our mobiles to keep showers
short, sweet and water-saving. Water-saving
showerheads control the water flow rate and
spray pattern of your shower. These are
available in a good range of different shapes
and sizes and their design can directly affect
water consumption during bath.

SAVE UP DIRTY CLOTHES

Instead of washing clothes daily, save up and
wash a full machine loads of clothes which
actually uses less water and energy than 2
half-loads. This also means lower water bills.

INSULATE WATER PIPES

Insulating water pipes are actually inexpensive
when it comes with pre-slit foam pipe
insulation. You’ll be receiving hot water faster,
which will avoid wasting water while it takes
time to heats up.

USE A WATER METER TO
CHECK FOR HIDDEN WATER
LEAKS

It is advisable to read the house water meter before
and after a two-hour period when no water is being
used. If the meter does not read the similar water
meter then there is a leak.

USE GREYWATER
RECYCLING SYSTEMS

Greywater can be done as manual collection. Greywater for
this collection is collected from laundry, kitchen or
bathwater. The systems for collecting greywater vary from
manual to completely automated with the manual systems
being the simplest to use and the ones with the least costs
of maintenance. The manual systems require nothing more
than a bucket and jug for collecting greywater by hand. The
water can then be used either for irrigation plants or as a
substitute for using fresh water for flushing.

MAINTAIN IRRIGATION
SYSTEM

When using irrigation system it is advisable to
keep on checking whether its operating correctly
toward the beginning and end of each season. It is
better to clear any visible clogs and always adjust
the settings according to the needs of your plants.
Plants will need less water in cooler weather and
more in hotter weather, and correct settings will
not only save water but ensure that plants are
getting the right amounts. Also be sure the timer
waters in the morning to reduce loss to
evaporation and prevent moisture from staying on
plants overnight.

DON’T RUN THE HOSE WHILE
WASHING YOUR CARS

Clean the car using a pail of soapy
water. Use the hose only for rinsing; this
simple practice can save as much as 100
gallons when washing a car. Use a spray
nozzle when rinsing for more efficient
use of water.

CONCLUSION

Conserving water reduces wear and tear
on major resources such as water and
wastewater treatment plants and the
distribution systems that deliver water to
the public. Sensible water use can reduce
the amount of stress that is placed on our
resources, both by limiting water
withdrawals and by decreasing
wastewater distribution. There are many
ways and strategies has taken place in
water conservation. It is very important to
conserve more water because it continues
water natural and clean while defensive
the environment. Conserving water
method using our water deliver
accurately and be responsible. As each
human being depends on water for
livelihood, we ought to learn how to
preserve our limited deliver of water pure
and away from pollution. Globally, water
use has accelerated hastily in recent years
due to population growth and increased
in line with capita consumption. Most of
the boom is within the developing
international locations. 70% of water use
is for agriculture, 22% is for industry and
8% for domestic purposes, even though
there is substantial regional variant. Water
components in our province are more
likely to stay pretty consistent from
season to season, however the fee at
which people use water rises sharply
inside the summer time. During the
summer season water demand nearly
doubles, so water conservation is
maximum vital. It is important to be
aware of and to follow all water
conservation and water shortage
directives in effect in your community,
and especially important to observe good
water use rules if your water is from a
private well.
