Question

Which of the following ways are the ways of conserving water at home?

• A. Do not keep the tap running while brushing the teeth.
• B. Do not waste water.
• C. Do not throw water after washing vegetables, rice or pulses. Use it for watering plants.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth – this can save 6 litres of water per minute. Place a cistern displacement device in your toilet cistern to reduce the volume of water used in each flush.

Mulching your plants (with bark chippings, heavy compost or straw) and watering in the early morning and late afternoon will reduce evaporation and also save water.
