Reduce Shower Time
Instead of taking baths take a shower and set a 5 minute timer.
2. Only fun full loads of laundry
Instead of washing patrial loads of laundry, wait until you are able to run a full load.
3. Fix leaky taps
Fixing leaky taps can reduce the amount of water lost. A lot of the time, limescale forms on the O-ring and causes material wear, making the faucet leaky. The most common solution is to replace the rubber O-ring.
4. Use a watering can
By using a watering can instead of a hose you are able to have more control over how much water you use.
5. Eat less meat
Animal products use a lot more water than produce and grains. By eating more produce and grain you can cut down your water footprint by a bunch.
