Learning how to save water

Notes:

  • About Droughts:

    Within many regions throughout the world, our communities, villages and farms are experiencing drought conditions – meaning that the lack of rain drops below annual normals:

  • view US areas
    view drought conditions worldwide
  • Droughts cause negative impacts on food production, soil erosion, sanitation, general hygiene, and other environment impacts. Droughts can be temporary or long-lasting – and the continued effects of droughts can occur in the same area.
  • Reasons For Drought:

    There are contributing factors of droughts. Global warming is one. The increase warming of the earth’s land and oceans offsets weather patterns. Deforestation, excess usage of water, and improper land and farming management can over time alter ecosystems required for evaporation and rainfall.

  • And droughts just happen based on changes due to sun activity and other earthly changes such as volcanoes. You can find histories of drought conditions that have altered human activity and migration.
  • So learning how to adapt and save water usage is imperative in drought affected areas for future sustainability. Let’s review these suggestions below:
    • monitor water usage: [scroll below]
    • landscape for arid regions: [scroll below]
    • collect rain: [scroll below]
    • compost and recycle: [scroll below]

Monitor water usage

Notes:

  • Monitoring and Reducing Water Consumption:

    There are several helpful gadgets to have for water monitoring and reducing water consumption. We use water for daily showers, toilet flushes, clothes washing, cooking and kitchen clean-up, garden irrigation, etc.; and including the various water leakage points throughout the house. These activities use vast amount of water to sustain family and business.

  • Monitoring and limiting usage can help reduce water consumption. These systems include:
    • low-flow shower heads
    • low-flow toilets
    • low-flow faucets
    • automatic water shut off
    • water monitoring systems
    • water leakage detection
  • Water Saving Tricks:

    There are also tricks that you can do to reduce and recycle water usage. These tricks include:

    • Toilet Usage:

      Reduce water by placing 1-2 or more bricks in the toilet bowel to raise the level of water that will be flushed down. Likewise, flush the toilet only when needed.

    • Using Automation:

      Automation such as dishwashers and car wash establishments can reduce water consumption by large percentages. For example, energy-efficient dishwashers use about 3 gallons of water compared to the 27 gallons or more to wash and rinse by hand. Likewise, there is no need to rinse your dishes before loading. Simply scape off food instead of rinsing.

    • Another example is using auto washing establishments. A newer, established car washing establishment may use approximately 8-12 gallons of water. Washing your car at home with a hose can consume 20-100 gallons of water.
    • Energy-Saving Appliances:

      It might be time to replace some of your old water usage appliances such as the dishwasher, washing machine, water heater, and others with energy-saving appliances. These appliances use less water to perform the same function as your older appliances; and they save you money over the appliance life-time. Also make sure you have a full load for the dishwasher and clothes washer before operating.

    • Instill Better Habits at Home:

      Train yourself and other family members to turn off water when not in use. For example, turning off water while brushing teeth or lathering up during the shower. Help them to understand the need of water conversation and their part to help preserve a precious commodity.

    • Inspect Plumbing:

      Check you plumbing often for any potential leaks especially in toilet bowls, outdoor spigots, and dripping faucets. You can install a water leakage system to your plumbing to help detect leaks.

    • How Much:

      View the table below to view how much an average household consumes water. Again instruct your family on the need of conservation and where they can reduce water usage:

      • Toilet Flushing to 5 gallons
        Dishwasher 5 to 14 gallons
        Bathroom Faucet 2 gallons per min
        Shower (8 minutes) 10 to 20 gallons
        Bath 10 to 40 gallons
        Clothes Washing 13 to 50 gallons
        Professional Car Wash 8 to 12 gallons
        Car Washing at Home 20 to 100 gallons

Landscape for arid conditions

Notes:

  • Areas that are prone to droughts may want to landscape their yards for arid conditions. Arid designs can make beautiful gardens using rock, large stones and arid plants that display beautiful color.
  • In some areas, gone are the days where you can water your lawn and flower garden. So lawns may need to converted to sand and rock – or the use of artificial grass. Shrubs, plants and flowers may need to be converted to arid-type plants that require little or no water for full bloom and color.
  • What garden landscape designs can you have for arid living:
    • Adding Gravel:

      Are you concerned about water conservation and the use of chemicals in your yard? Homeowners tend to look for low-maintenance ways to beautify their homes without the need for large amounts of grassy areas. Gravel Landscapes can be a better alternative to grass, regardless of where you live.

fourth “photo remodeling” idea

rain barrels

Collecting water

Notes:

  • Sometimes under drought conditions an unexpected rain storm can pop up. So why not collect the rain water that runs off your roof? Filling up rain barrels gives you the extra water as needed for home and garden usage.
  • This collected rain can be used to water flower plants, fill up toilets, and used wherever if drought conditions worsen. But double check with your local jurisdiction; some communities don’t allow collection of rain.
  • Review more information regarding rain collection and drainage:
    • What About Rain Harvesting:

      Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting, preserving and storing rainwater. It provides a free and independent water supply that offers several ways this water can be utilized. In other words, it’s a technique through which water can be collected and used for later use.

    • view post: 5 Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting
    • Proper Drainage:

      When it rains, you can expect the water to drain properly around your home and throughout your yard. But what if it doesn’t? Then we suggest you look through the infographic below for yard drainage solutions. It will protect your home foundation and yard from drainage issues.

fifth and last “photo remodeling” idea

outhouse

copyright image by https://123rf.com/

When water becomes very scarce

Notes:

  • Finally, this is something you may not want to do, but you may need to have if droughts becomes very severe. Building an outside commode or other portable chamber can be an option when you need to save water for cooking and cleaning.
  • The amount of water saved from flushing several times daily by several household members can add up quickly. So hopefully the drought will subside and going outside to relieve yourself won’t be needed. But in the event where a severe drought requires sacrifice, this is one option that can help conserve water.
