In our daily lifestyle, we waste tonnes of water without even realising its impact on the environment and ecological system.
According to a report of United Nations, only 0.5% of water on earth is usable and available freshwater. Also, about 2 billion people worldwide don’t have access to safe drinking water today (SDG Report 2022), and roughly half of the world’s population is experiencing severe water scarcity.
We are privileged that we have all that natural resources available for now but having a safe future it’s our duty to use water (used and fresh) wisely. To change the way we use water, we must change ourselves and our habits because if not us then who? It’s all start from You and Me, so let’s get started-

1. Invest in clothes wisely, choose alternate of Denim:

Do you know? From growing cotton to dyeing it to laundering finished products, producing blue jeans consumes a large amount of water (approx. 7600 litres of water for a pair of jeans) and that wastewater contains harmful chemicals and dyes.
Think buying a new pair of jeans and choose alternate of it. Also, whatever clothes you have just wear them by styling differently multiple times. Do not buy mindlessly any day with the hype of shopping anything any day. But when you need not just because your favourite influencer bought it.

2. Fix Plumbing leaks

3. Cut those long showers short

4. When not need, close the tap of water.

5. Turn off tap during brushing your teeth.

6. Use motor alarm to know if the water syntax is overflowing

7. Consume less meat:

Meat production requires a much higher amount of water than vegetables. According to IMF (2013 REPORT) – To produce 1 kg of meat requires between 5000 and 20,000 litres of water. So opt for plant based food as much as possible.

8. Filtered waste water –

Filtered waste water: maximum households believe that waste water from RO is dirty and is not of any use but but it is not a dirty water it’s tap water that is un filtered. so you should not waste this waste water as this is really injustice with environment use this in different source:
First one use this water for mopping the floor.
second to clean bathroom. 3rd for washing cars or other vans .
to water plants
to use in cooler
for washing dishes
for washing clothes or doing laundry
for washing cattles.

9. Waste water from kitchen:

Everyday there are litters of water wastage by preparing food. I use this waters for my plants. Waste water from kitchen could be water left after washing veggies, after washing pulses, rice, soybean or chana water . these waters are highly beneficial for plants as the contain some nutrition for plants. so do not discard them in Single use. use them for planting. water left after boiling potato ,chana etc are used to water plants.

10. Make sure you do not use harmful chemicals for cleaning and bathing as this water goes to soil and make it lace capable.

11. If you get your own area make your waste water goes to your own land and avoid hard chemicals toiletries.

12. Use less single use plastic as much as you can since it goes to river lakes ocean and make marine life disturbing.

13. For summer days use Earthen pots to get cold water instead of running the cold tap.

Conclusion:

lots of people say why it need to be done. Well, let me tell you. If not us, then who? It’s all in a hand to make our water system more breakable and we are capable of doing it. One person can make a difference hence joining hands together you and me can make a difference, for our future generation and for making our water and ecosystem usable we should do it.

So come on and join your hands too, to make this earth a peaceful living!
