Explain any 5 measures to conserve water

1.Always turn taps off tightly so they do not drip.

2.Promptly repair any leaks in and around your taps. (One leak can waste several thousand litres of water per year.)

3.Use an aerator and/or a water flow-reducer attachment on your tap to reduce your water usage.

4.When hand-washing dishes, never run water continuously. Wash dishes in a partially filled sink and then rinse them using the spray attachment on your tap.

5.If you have an electric dishwasher, use it only to wash full loads, and use the shortest cycle possible.

6.Many dishwashers have a conserver/water-miser cycle.

7.When brushing your teeth, turn the water off while you are actually brushing instead of running it continuously. Then use the tap again for rinsing and use short bursts of water for cleaning your brush. (This saves about 80% of the water normally used.)
