We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

Friends... Through this post, I would like to spread awareness about the current water problem across Globe, and I would term it as 'Slow-Coming Global Disaster'.

If we dont awake now, may be our next generation would find it difficult to see their next generation.

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one. – Jacques Cousteau

The biggest users of water on the islands are homes & tourist accommodations. Now some places in the US have no choice but to watch their water consumption because of drought. Here are some easy to follow tips to save water and money. Kitchen Tips 1.      Soak pots and pans before washing. When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink or basin with soapy water. 2.      Fill the basin or a pan with water to wash fruits and vegetables. 3.      Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator rather than running tap water until it is cool enough to drink. 4.      When buying a new dishwasher, consider purchasing a water-saving model. 5.      Wash only full loads in the dishwasher. Bathroom Tips 1.      Replace older, larger-use toilets with the newer ultra-low flush models. 2.      Do NOT use the toilet to dispose of paper, facial tissues, or cigarettes. Take a five-minute shower. 3.      Install a low-flow showerhead. It can save about half the amount of water you typically use in the shower, while still providing a refreshing, cleansing shower. 4.      Turn the tap water off while brushing your teeth,  shaving, or washing your face. 5.      If the toilet flush handle frequently sticks in the flush position, letting water run constantly, replace or adjust it. Laundry Room Tips 1.      When buying a new clothes washer, consider purchasing a water-saving model. New horizontal axis models can save up to 40 percent of the water used by a conventional model. 2.      Wash only full loads in the clothes washer.  Outdoor Tips 1.      Don't overwater your landscape. It can cause yellowing leaves or poor plant health. 2.      Using a running hose to wash your car can waste about 400 litres of water. Using a bucket with a sponge plus a trigger nozzle on the hose will save you about 300 of those litres. 3.      If you own a pool, be sure to use a pool cover when it's not in use. This will cut down on evaporation losses and will keep it cleaner and warmer. Using some of these tips will surely save some water and hopefully some cash in the process.
