Environment is either positively or negatively by the activities that we carry out. It also depends on the type of people that are working, are they aware on ecofriendly activities. According to statistics, 99% of the water in the world is not drinkable. It is unfit for drinking. It signifies that only 1% of water is fit for drinking. Many countries in different part of the world are facing the problem of water scarcity. Some activities that can help reducing water scarcity is by rational use of the devices.   

Three Simple ideas to easily save water in our Home

Two buttons in a flush:
Nowadays, in every toilet there is flushing system installed for flushing. There are two buttons in flush i.e. one big and another small. Proper use of those buttons can save loss of water. After urinating, small button must be used which releases small amount of water than next big button. After pooping, large button should to be pressed. If we use correct button at the correct place, we can save a lot of water. For each flush, we can save 3-4 liters of water. Also, if we do not have button type of flush, we can fill a one-liter bottle and keep it inside our flush. This will also pave way for reusing plastic bottles. Flush will hold less water, less water will be released and water will be saved. 

Use of Aerators in taps 

Although aerators are small device. It can save 6 liter of water in one minute from being wasting. This fits in 95% of water taps. This aerators, without reducing pressure of water, and can reduce flow of water. The mechanism working there is that aerators mixes air with water because of which water pressure remains the same but there is no space for water flow the amount of water released is small. In a month, aerators can save around 12000 liters of water. 

Use of RO waste water. 
It has been found that one liter of drinking water can produce 3 liters of wastewater i.e. around 75% of water is wasted. But use of RO is necessary for filtering and drinking safe water, it is necessity which cannot be ignored. We can use collected waste water in washing clothes, car wash, utensils wash, floor moping, which saves water wastage. 

These are small three things but can save a lot of water. I hope you will apply these tips at your home. Lets not wait other, It¡¯s us to save mother earth.

    Hi ALOK, this is your mentor Yuseon:D

    I loved your well written informative report regarding ways to reduce water consumption.
    When I was young, I remember being curious about why water is scarce if 70% of the Earth is water. I soon found out that most of the water are undrinkable. Like you have mentioned 99% of the water in the world is not drinkable. Also countries lacking proper water purifying system are seriously facing water scarcity problems. Hope your info helps many others save water.

    Keep up the good work,
    Yuseon

    Hi Alok,

    This is your mentor Debbie.
    Thanks for sharing three tips of saving water. I knew nowadays there are many two-buttons-in-a-flush system, but I didn't know such things called Aerators or RO waste water. From what I searched online, RO stands for Reverse Osmosis, am I right? I think you probably forgot to mention its full name - some readers (like myself) might not know what it means! :D

    Anyways, Aerators are not common here in Korea. (Or am I not aware of it?) Is it common in your country? I'm pretty curious!

    Well done for the report. Keep up with the work!
    Green Cheers,
    Debbie
