1. Recharging Ground Water in Apartments
Water is essential, and it is a finite resource. Groundwater recharge is one method of water management that can help ensure an adequate water supply for future generations. Groundwater recharge occurs when water from the surface, such as rain or melted snow, seeps down into the ground and replenishes groundwater supplies. This process can happen naturally during rain, or it can be assisted through artificial means. Artificial groundwater recharge is a process whereby water is deliberately infiltrated into shallow aquifers to increase groundwater quantity. This can be done through various methods, such as injecting water into the ground or using percolation pits. The volume of water being abstracted from an aquifer over the long term mustn’t exceed the volume being recharged; otherwise, groundwater supplies will dwindle.
2. Greywater System in Apartments
Looking to save on your water bill? Consider using greywater in your home. Greywater is wastewater from non-toilet plumbing fixtures, like sinks, washing machines and showers. This type of water is generally easier to recycle than blackwater, because it contains fewer contaminants. The method and standard of treatment will depend on the size of your system. To avoid confusion with potable water, make sure all pipes and supply points in your greywater system are clearly labeled. With proper care, a greywater system can help you save up to 40% on your yearly water bill.
3. STP System/ Wastewater Recycling
Wastewater recycling is crucial for preserving our water resources. There are two main types of wastewater – greywater and blackwater. Greywater is easier to treat and recycle than blackwater, which contains harmful bacteria that can cause disease. In order to save our communities from the dangers of raw sewage, one should build wastewater treatment plants and enforce laws against its release into the environment. These treatment plants help us recycle blackwater, making it safe to use again. In recent years, it has been evident that there has been an increasing interest in wastewater reuse as a key part of water conservation efforts. If your society banded together to invest in a sewage treatment plant (STP), it could mean an end to water scarcity and the recycling of water 365 days a year. To make this happen, you would need to get consent for operation from your municipal corporation and employ qualified staff to oversee standard operating procedures. However, if you invested in an eco-friendly STP that uses anaerobic methods and requires little energy, mimicking natural processes, then you could make a huge impact without using diesel or polluting the environment.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Water Efficiency Practices for Domestic Indoor Water Use - New Hampshire
1. WD-DWGB-26-2 2010
Water Efficiency Practices for Domestic Indoor Water Use
Only 1 percent of the earth's water is available for drinking. The average American uses 100
gallons of water a day. Our excessive water use habits deplete potable drinking water supplies
and return trillions of gallons of wastewater to streams and coastal waters. The following indoor
water efficiency practices can save as much as 25,000 gallons of water per person per year.
Water efficiency practices not only save water, they save money. For a description of how to
determine water use in your home, see the following fact sheets at
www.des.nh.gov/organization/commissioner/pip/factsheets/dwgb/index.htm and scroll to WD-
DWGB-26-15, “Performing a Domestic Water Use and Conservation Audit.” To save water on
outdoor use, see fact sheet WD-DWGB-26-3, “Water Efficiency Practices for Outdoor Water
Use” at the same website.
General Water Efficiency Practices
The following water efficiency practices apply to general domestic water use. Bathroom, kitchen
and laundry water use are addressed in later sections.
• Look for the WaterSense label when considering water using fixtures, appliances, and
services. WaterSense, sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
labels water-efficient products that have been independently tested to ensure water
savings without sacrificing performance or quality.
• Shut off water when not in use, such as when you brush your teeth or shave.
• Never put water down the drain when you can use it for something else, such as watering
plants.
• Insulate water pipes and hot water heaters. This retains heat so that water doesn’t need to
run as long to get hot. It also saves on energy costs.
• Avoid water softening systems unless absolutely necessary. Backwashing these systems
uses large quantities of water. If you do use a water softener, run the minimum amount of
recommended regenerations to maintain softness.
• Turn off pumps, water softeners, and other water-using equipment while on vacation.
• Check for and repair leaks. Not only will you save water but you will save energy and
money. A large percentage of energy costs can be attributed to pumping, treating,
heating, and cooling water.
• If you are on municipal water and have a meter at your house, check the meter over a
period of time when no one is using water. If the meter moves, you have a leak.
• If you have a well, the pump shouldn’t run at times when no water is being used.
2. Water Efficiency Practices in the Bathroom
More than one fourth of all domestic indoor water consumption is used in the bathroom. The
following water efficiency practices will help you save water in the bathroom.
• Install ultra-low flow toilets (ULF) that use a maximum of 1.28 gal/flush (4.8L/flush) or
retrofit existing toilets with displacement bottles or dams. Dual flush toilets offer a choice
between the 1.6-gallon flush for solid wastes and a 1.0-gallon flush for liquid only. Never
put bricks in toilet tanks; they disintegrate over time. Use a squat, fat glass jar, like a
pickle jar, no more than 6" high, filled with water. Glass is heavier than plastic and less
apt to shift around in the tank.
• Install low-flow bathroom faucets that use no more than 1.5 gallons per minute or install
low-flow faucet aerators or laminar flow restrictors. These devices are readily available
at most hardware and building supply stores.
• Install low-flow showerheads that use no more than 2.0 gallons per minute. Low-flow
showerheads are designed to use less water and still provide the same invigorating spray
as their water-wasting counterparts.
• Don’t use the toilet as a garbage disposal. Avoid unnecessary toilet flushing by disposing
of tissues, cigarette butts and other items in the trash, and composting vegetable food
waste.
• Replace or repair toilet flush handles that stick in the flush position.
• Avoid using automatic bowl cleaners in your toilet tank. These chemicals rapidly degrade
flapper valves and other tank components, causing the toilet to leak.
• Adjust the toilet tank float level so that water fills no higher than 0.5"-1.0" below the top
of the overflow pipe. At higher levels water can flow down the pipe and leak through to
the bowl. The refill valve then tops off the tank, causing a continuous cycle of drain and
fill.
• Detect leaks in toilet tanks by dropping food coloring in the tank (12 drops). Do not flush
the toilet for at least an hour. If the tank leaks the dye will show up in the bowl.
• Fill bathtubs no more than half full.
Water Efficiency Practices in the Kitchen
The following water efficiency practices can be applied to routine kitchen chores.
• Operate dishwashers with full loads only. Use the water-save cycle if your dishwasher is
equipped with one.
• If washing dishes by hand, rinse them in a basin rather than under running water.
• Store drinking water in the refrigerator rather than running the tap for cold water.
• Compost food scraps rather than using a garbage disposal. Not only do disposal units
waste water; the fine particles they produce can clog a septic system.
• Consider installing an instant water heater on the kitchen faucet. This reduces the time
needed to run water until it becomes hot.
• Do not run water to melt ice or thaw frozen foods. Defrost them in a microwave or in the
refrigerator overnight.
• Rinse vegetables in a pan of water rather than under running water.
3. Water Efficiency Practices in the Laundry
The laundry is usually the second highest domestic indoor water use. The following water
efficiency practices are designed to save water in the laundry.
• Wash full loads only. If unable to wash a full load, set your washer to the appropriate
water level setting.
• Consider replacing your top-loading, vertical-axis washer with a more efficient
horizontal-axis washer. Most of these are front-loading, but some newer models are also
top-loading. These washers rotate clothes rather than agitating them and use much less
water, an average of 20 gallons per load compared to an average of 43 gallons for
conventional washers. See the EPA’s Energy Star website listed at the end of this
document for a catalog of Energy Star-approved washing machines.
