Save Water During World Water Day

Help save water during World Water Day and beyond. World Water Day takes place every year on March 22, as designated officially by the UN General Assembly in 1993.

The mission of World Water Day is to increase awareness of water related issues and to take action to improve the sustainability of and access to the world’s water supply. So how can you save water?

Change Water Habits
You can conserve water use, both indoors and out, just by making simple changes in your habits. If you’re a homeowner or renter with a front porch, use a broom instead of a hose to clean it. Do you work hard to keep a beautiful yard? Simply water it in the morning when temperatures are cooler so you lose less water to evaporation. Do you let your water run when you brush your teeth? Just turn it off until you need it.  Get more tips like these.

Find and Fix Leaks
Hidden water leaks inside your home can add an extra 10 percent cost to your utility bill, according to the EPA. Go here to learn how to find those sneaky leaks. Then, once you’ve identified them, these tips will help you address them.

Pay Attention to Your Potty
Did you know that approximately 31 percent of your household’s water consumption comes from your toilet, according to Home Water Works? You can quit flushing money down the drain by following these toilet tips.

Calculate Your Water Footprint
See how much water you use by calculating your water footprint. You may be surprised. It’s not only calculated by how much water you may use personally, but also by the type of food you eat and the purchases you make.
