Tips for saving water in kitchen



1. Turn off faucets tightly after each use.

2. Ensure if there is leakage in any faucet. If exists, stop leakage by replacing the tap or its washer.

3. Do not use tap water to melt food items. Switch off refrigerator to defrost them for water efficiency and food safety.

4. Wash fruits and vegetables in pan full of water instead of washing them under running water tap.

5. Do not wash dishes or kitchen utensils under running tap water. Wash them by filling the sink with washing water.

6. Keep drinking water in refrigerator or in water jug than running the tap every time to take glass of water. This way no drop of water goes waste into the drain.

7. Don’t dispose of food waste accumulated in kitchen through kitchen sink since it requires lots of water for disposal and increases unnecessary load on septic tank. You can dispose the waste through the bucket.

8. Install instant water heater in kitchen to save cold water running while the water heats up.

9. Collect the water used for washing fruits and vegetables and reuse it for watering house plants.
