What are your best ways to save water?

Some of the most effective ways I save water include taking shorter showers, fixing leaks promptly, only running full loads of laundry/dishes, and avoiding letting taps run unnecessarily while brushing teeth or washing dishes.

I have read that taking showers consumes more water than when we use tap for taking bath. I always try not use shower.

I guess I am lucky because we save the water bill by using spring water. It is for free to use here in my place.

I always turn off the faucet when I am not using it. Letting water run continuously is a waste, and we need to do everything we can to conserve water. Even though water is free here, I believe it is essential to save it.

You have basically pointed out all the effective ways to save water. I also try to take shorter showers and avoid letting taps run continuously while washing face, brushing teeth. But I need to drink a lot of water every day, especially in summer. That I cannot save.

I make sure that I open a tap to fetch water and leave. I wait for the water to get full so that it would not overflow and waste.

When washing my dishes, I like to collect water in two basins to wash and rinse in them instead of letting the water run. Also, when brushing my teeth, I collect the water to a cup and wash my teeth from it.

I think the best for me is always fixing leaks promptly. This is one very efficient way to save on water without waste

One way we save water is to ensure all taps are properly locked when not in use.
