Water is a valuable natural resource that is getting harder to find. The shower is one of the main places where water is wasted. According to experts, if water is utilised sparingly, up to 50 litres per person per day can be saved. Here are some pointers for conserving water during showering:
Use a water-saving showerhead
A typical shower head uses roughly 19 litres of water per minute, thus a daily shower of five minutes uses about 36,000 litres of water annually. You can change to a showerhead that consumes less water, 9 litres per minute. Additionally, shower heads include a shutdown feature that lowers the water flow when you soap up or lather your hair.
Cut back on your shower time
The length of the shower affects how much water is used. About 12 litres of water are used each minute in a typical shower. 5 minutes instead of 10 minutes would save roughly 22,000 litres annually. Water waste will be reduced by taking shorter showers.
Use the cold water
Letting the water drain while it heats up is a frequent practice. In its place, cold water can be collected in a bucket and utilised for hand cleaning, soaking/washing objects, and watering plants and the garden.
When not necessary, turn off the water
It is preferable to turn off the shower while using soap, shampoo, or shaving to save water.
Switch from bath to shower
50 to 150 gallons are necessary to fill a bath. Taking a shower rather than a bath can help you save more water.
Conserving water is more crucial than ever right now. By making these minor adjustments to your shower regimen, you may contribute.
