Answer 4

1) when you are bathing, do not use the bath tub as it requires more water. use the shower head to bath so as to minimise the usage of water.
2) When you are washing the rice, use the water to water your plants.
3) When washing dishes (many), use a tub or basin with water to wash the dishes. As if you wash many dishes one by one without the basin or tub, more water will be used.
I hope this methods can help you save water.

Shower for less time, Don't flush when you pee, use Xeriscaping instead of grass on your property, especially if you live in a place that isn't naturally grassy.

it is not running water that wastes it. It is the action of polluting the water with substances that are not supposed to be there that pollutes the water, therefore the way to save water is to use less soaps and chemicals that get into the water, and by all means please contain your motor oils and have them recycled. one drop of oil can contaminate Gallons and gallons of water.
