MEDIA separate file photo: Motlabana Monnakgotla Johannesburg - We've all heard the jokes about how to save you water in the drought. Not the "bathroom with popular friend, or even" save water, drink beer "and a few others are downright crazy.
What about staceygustafson.com, reuse your underwear, pee in the shower or the dog clean your dishes or dig your lawn and replace it to make it with sand.
However, the worst drought to SA is in at least 23 years came to us, and we have all the practical means to reduce our use of water, regardless of whether the government can decide whether there is a water safety.
Thanks to the Department of Water and Sanitation, Land and simple, there are several things that we had everything available on the use of water do.
- Close the valve between washing your face, brushing your teeth or shaving.
- Take a shower for five minutes a day, instead of a bath. It uses two-thirds less water, saving up to 400 liters per week.
- Use low-flow shower heads, dual flush toilet mechanisms and water efficient washing machines.
- Do you have the kettle to the brim, but enough do not fill for what you need. This will save on power.
- Do not use more water than necessary to cooking.
- Put a two-liter soda bottle into the tank, which can save 20 percent of water used with each flush.
- Fix leaky toilets, though not as much as 100,000 liters can be cascaded per year. Put food coloring in the tank, and if you are in the tank, there is a leak.
- Littering in the trash, not the toilet, as it prevents excessive hunting.
- Use gray water - the bathroom, washing machine and rainwater collection - toilet bowl or, if possible, water in the garden.
- No backwash your pool.
- Water plants in the evening or early morning to the evaporation as well to avoid.
- Use boiled water for watering houseplants that benefit also released from the nutrients from the shell.
- Native plants and exotic plants do not consume water.
- Group plants around to their water needs, and mulch around them.
- Hold the rainwater in containers such as Jojo to water the garden, or when it comes to drinking.
- Read your house when the water meter is not used to check for a leak.
- Insulate water pipes waiting to waste water to heat.
- Use your dishwasher and clothes for a full load.
- Do not use running water to wash the items, or yourself, or cleaning vegetables.
- Keep a bottle of water handy, just in case, and keep it fresh, so you do not need to run to cool the tap.
- Did you see the tube is not running when washing your car.
- Use a broom, not a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks
