The scorching heat has arrived and so has the need for abundant water. This is the season when we actually realize the importance of water in our everyday life in a true sense. Water conservation is of utmost importance at present all over the world and we should try and save water as much as we can to avoid wastage of this natural and scarce resource. During the summer season, an average household water consumption simply doubles. Let’s ensure to save water by implementing these simple and small techniques on an everyday basis in different corners of the house.

Kitchen

The water use in the kitchen is never-ending. Since morning till night, water is being used in the kitchen. Reuse water whenever you can such as water used for washing vegetables and fruits can be reused to water the plants. Leftover water from cooking rice can be used to feed animals or birds. Use a damp cloth to wipe in and around the kitchen instead of running water. Soak the dishes before cleaning instead of washing them under running water. Scrape away all the residues in the vessels before washing them.

Bathroom

Take short showers than a bath. Make use of buckets rather than shower while bathing. Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving. Fix the leaky faucets as soon as you find one. Upgrade single flush toilet to dual flush toilet and install a half flush option on the same. Do not flush the tissues or sanitary napkins, instead, make use of trash. Install water saving shower head to prevent the unnecessary wastage of water. Run the washing machine only when it is fully loaded.

Outdoors

Use the same water to wash vehicles and water the lawn. The sideways and floors can be wiped instead of washing using the running water. Water the plants early in the morning as it will prevent evaporation of water. Make use of rainwater for gardening or watering the outdoors of the house such as stairs, lawns, garden area, pathways, parking area, etc. If you own a pool, make sure to cover it when not in use.

Keep your home and the surroundings clean on a regular basis as it will automatically decrease the amount of water to be used. Welcome summer season with Penguin Tank, the best quality plastic water storage tank for your home. Happy Summers!
