usage of water at home

Dear ypyanyan, I like your ideas of reuse the collected water for the plants and garden. I too collect the water and flush the toilet. It is definitely a good way to save and care for our natural resources. Is there any good suggestion to save electricity?

hie ypyanyan and iriene, hmm interesting and fruitful discussion. i will definitely apply your tested way of saving water. its a good way to save, reuse, recycle and to reduce. in fact in many areas of our life, this basic principles are applicable. have a great day.

hie hanuma, well that is interesting, a german design. i hope this design is economical so that it is marketable to this part of the world. actually i really dread the day where there is no drinkable water. i hope and pray there will always be water for drinking, cooking etc. the world is make up of a big portion of water. this treating ocean water for drinking would solve or reduce the scarcity of water for human consumption. still we have to do our part and be kind to water and use it carefully.

hie james, i am getting a 500ml used mineral water bottle to do this wonder to save water at no cost. its a great idea and should be put into use immediatedly. through the years the saving is substantial though not obvious. thanks for sharing, james.

Excellent idea. Never occurred to me. I shall also make an attempt to utilise the waste water to flush the toilets. Thanks ada.

hie ada and hanu, thanks for the real good tip response. this is really the water oriented saving ways that was developed by ada. just like a little drop of water day by day becomes a mighy ocean, so to speak. there is savings everywhere when we care to see and observe. there are so many genuine and real easy and handy ways to save the water and the world. first thing, we save money in the long run as we use less water. great.

Well thanks to my mother who has a very creative idea. We are doing that ever since, my mother really like to save the usage water. That is why we have drum or big basin outside our house to save those water. Sometimes if its raining we are saving it for us to use it in bathing or washing the clothes.

hie money4us, thanks for your thoughts. i see you keep the bath water for cleaning car for example. i have started doing this too. i use a pail of bath water to wash car. another pail of water for the plants. another pail for cleaning the windows etc. also i keep washing water to wash toilets and to scrub the drains. these are some ways we manage to save water and save our money too. at the same time we discipline ourselves to be water conscious.

yes sharuna, there are billions of people in this world. if one person just save 1 litre of water, just imagine how much water we have. unimaginable but true. its realy saving the earth and environment when all of us heave our shoulders together and do this saving of a litre of water to save the world. the gallons and gallons of water will be like the stars in the sky and the sand on all the beaches in the world. cheers, sharuna.

When we join together we cn do wonders in saving earth and environment!!

hie barehugs, i hear you too. i must go around to scout for the information you gave me. it looks i can really save more money with those devices you mentioned. there is nothing like recycling water to use as we need water on a daily basis. without water there would be no life left in this world. so i want to do my part and stay and live alive.

saving water is a virtue and to be praised. with that savings of water, come savings in money which is good in the long run in terms od discipline . well look at the bright side of life in water conservation and recycling , the world will be a better place to live and enjoy when each and everyone shoulders their own responsibilities. cheerio.

hie kharlav,thanks for your practical tips. yes faulty faucets do cause damage to our pockets as we have to pay more for water bill and at the same time water leakage leads to wastage. i am learning to recycle washing water for watering plants and cleaning drains and corridors. in a way, its a little exercise for me to carry the water around the compound of my home.

hie tiguer,water is important in our life.we need water to survive and to go about taking care of our daily hygiene. i once went to a long house to stay and they had fresh water from the mountains. the water was crystal clear and real cold and has a natural sweet taste.

hie ara,you got the point. not many people have showers. i live in the city. so i had a 'session' with my family. we talked at length and we agreed to install showers in the bath areas. that does not mean we have to do away with bath tubs. the bath water are stored and recycle. that means a little more work, have to carry the used water to water plants and general washing. so my hubby opted his bath water for toilet use. mine goes for watering plants. my children carry their used water to do general washing like cleaning cars, scrub the drains and the windows and doors and mopping the floors. the person who decides to do with their used water, do the job or chores. hmmm, i have less chores to do in some area. yes delegation and sharing of chores to release me to unwind and relax with a cuppa of tea. yes the freedom to choose to do with their used water compared to earlier days we just threw the 'precious ' used water away.my family is happy in this as they get to share in household responsibilities , doing something manual and not the brain power in the office. thus used water is recycled and put to better uses. we are on the right track to save mother earth. now these little saving will help help me have more money in my pockets through the months. as i am the home maker i have to come out with ways to save and conserve with cooperation, ideas and love from family. my sucess is theirs too. the end result, we all gain by doing our part, ara. have a pleasant day ahead.

hie fansil, thanks for your observation. water is getting scarce by the day and years. we cannot live without water as our body is 75% water. without water , dehydration sets in and that is where the trouble will begin. we really have to be united and start recycling water, water treatment and water conservation. for this to happen, the family unit has to save water and the economic use of water in the house. next the factories need to monitor their water usage too. nationwide everyone has to do their part and its no easy feat. start small and move forward to save the water and the world.

wow, that is a good habit to have, caliya, checking that the faucets are turned off properly. i have to check on this and get my family members to assist me in this area. recycling water is a good measure to save water. thanks caliya for responding to my discussion.

hie lelin, i have taken notes on all your saving tips. there are oh so practical and saves water, time and money. we kill 3 birds with one stone so to speak. wow , the way you manage your chores, you are a wonderful lady who release time to yourself and family instead of washing the dishes every day. you wash clothes twice a week and that is definitely what i should learn. i have to unlearn old habits and relearn new, time saving habits. i come from a family, everything must wash, not sitting in the sink or on the table unneccessary. even clothes are not spared as they are worn for the day and into the bin for washing the next morning. i have to adjust to all these. i am very happy as i get 'free' time now with these new protocols of handling the home duites and obligations. cheers to you, lelin.
