Water covers about 70% of Earth’s surface and yet only 3% can be used for human consumption. For this reason in this article we are going to talk about how to reduce water usage.

The first tip is to turn off the water taps while performing normal activities of daily cleansing: while brushing your teeth, washing your hands or shaving. The same principle can also be applied during the shower, once you have dampened your hair or skin, you can turn off the water, so as to avoid waste while you lather up. The second piece of advice on how to use less water is to check the pipes to detect any leaks around the toilet or the taps.

The third recommendation is to install a showerhead or taps with a minimum supply of water, taking care to clean the aerators to prevent the accumulation of debris or limestone that may undermine the proper supply of water. The fourth tip on how to reduce water usage is the installation of a dual-flow toilet. This type of flushing system allows to adjust the use of water as needed.

Finally, the last piece of advice on how to use less water is to properly adjust the pressure of  hot water, so as to avoid to have it flow for a long time to make it reach the desired temperature.
