Water consumption, day by day, month by month is usually a fixed expense that we can control and reduce significantly. In this case, we also help a common good that is very necessary in our time.
Saving in the Bathroom
- Install flow limiters on the tap (aerators). With them the water consumption is considerably reduced.
- Turn off the water when you are not using it, for example, when you are brushing your teeth, shaving or soaping your body. About 10 liters of water are wasted in a single minute.
- Do not use the toilet as a garbage can.
- A shower consumes less water than a bath.
- There are diffusers for showers that cut their consumption in half.
Saving in the Kitchen
- Let the tap water run just to rinse the dishes and turn off the tap while you lather them up.
- Only use the dishwasher when it is completely full, and if possible with a water saving program.
- Wash the fruits and vegetables in a container and not under the running tap.
- Soak the pots and pans a few minutes before scrubbing to reduce water usage.
- Defrost food by leaving it in the fridge, never under the tap. You will save 22 liters per food.
Applying these strategies you will be able to reduce water consumption.
