When you When you When you

conserve water, conserve water, conserve water,

you conserve life! you conserve life! you conserve life!

Collect rainwater with pails and basins, and store it for future use (e.g. watering the plants, cleaning the house).

In restaurants and hotels, serve water to guests only when they ask for it. Collect leftover drink-ing water, and use it to water your garden

Switch off the water valve in buildings that are not operational at night. Turn of the gate valve in the evening, and turn it on again the following morning.

Report broken pipelines and illegal water connections to proper authorities. Contact your local water district or the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) office nearest you.

Share these water saving tips to your family, neighbors, students, friends, and co-workers.

Turn the faucet off firmly to prevent leakage. Installing low volume / high pressure (LV/HP) nozzles or flow constrictors reduce water usage by up to 50%.

Use a water dipper (tabo) and pail (timba) instead of the shower while taking a bath.

Instead of running water, use a glass of water while brushing your teeth.

Buy new water-efficient toilet bowls that con-sume only 2.6 - 4 liters of water for every flush. Old models use up to 14 liters of water per flush.

Discard leftover food before washing dishes. As much as possible, use wash basin (palanggana) to save water as well as dishwashing soap.

Wash all your clothes at once. Don’t allow the water in your wash basin (batya) to overflow.

Reuse water from your laundry to flush your toilet, clean your car, or water your garden.

Instead of water hose, use only a pail and a soft towel in washing your car.

Water your plants only before sunrise or after sunset to prevent water loss due to vaporization.
