8. Why Should We Save Water?
Of all the water in the world, only 3% is fresh
Less than one third of 1% of this fresh water is available for human
use.
The rest is frozen in glaciers or polar ice caps, or is deep within the
earth, beyond our reach
To put it another way, if 100 liters represents the world's water,
about half a tablespoon of it is fresh water available for our use
It is a resource which is a boon for everyone

9. A to Z Tips to Save Water
A dripping tap could waste as much as 90 liters a week.
Brushing your teeth with the tap running wastes almost 9 liters a minute. Rinse
out from a tumbler instead.
Cool water kept in the fridge means you won't have to run the tap for ages to get
a cold drink.
Don't use your washing machine until you've got a full load. A full load uses less
water than 2 half loads.
Every time you boil an egg save the cooled water for your houseplants. They'll
benefit from the nutrients released from the shell.

Hoeing stimulates the growth of plants, reduces water loss from the soil surface
and removes weeds that take up valuable water and nutrients.
Installing a water meter can save you water and money by monitoring how much
you use.
Just taking a five minute shower very day, instead of a bath, will use a third of the
water, saving up to 400 liters a week.
Kettles should be filled with enough water for your needs but not to the brim. This
will reduce your fuel bills too.

Purchasing a water butt will help you to collect rain water for use on the garden.
Question your local garden center about the water requirements of different
plants. Some thrive in drier conditions.
