How to Save Water at Home?

​​Check for leaks.

Check for leaks. Check the floor around the toilet, in the garage, and under sinks in your home. If you find water on the ground or if you notice that a pipe seems to be dripping more than usual, it’s likely that there is a leak somewhere nearby.
To check the toilet, put a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If you detect color in the bowl after 10 minutes, it may be leaking. To fix this type of leak you can flush and add water to the tank; remove the lid; use a plunger to create suction over the hole where water enters (called an overflow tube). If that doesn’t work, try snaking out any debris with a hose or auger tool.

Run the dishwasher only when it’s full.

You can save water and energy by running the dishwasher only when it’s full, since a half-full load will use more water than a full load. If you have an older model that does not have the ability to adjust for different loads, consider getting a new model with this feature.

Collect rainwater and use it to water your plants.

It’s free and it helps the environment, not to mention your plants. So why not? Rainwater can be collected from your roof or gutters, with a few simple tools that you probably already own. The most important thing you’ll need is a bucket (or multiple buckets), which will catch the rain from your gutters or downspouts.

Try to take shorter showers.

Shorter showers waste less water. They’re better for the environment, they’re better for your skin and hair, and they can help you save money on your energy bill.
To take a shorter shower: Turn off the water while you lather up or shave. This will help prevent unnecessary water from being used to rinse off.

Remember the Following:

• Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.
• Use a low-flow showerhead.
• Repair leaky faucets.
• Only run full loads of laundry and dishes—they use less energy than partial loads, so they’re more efficient in terms of both water and electricity use.
• Use rainwater to water your plants.
