Water conservation is a very essential practice and let us not takes water for granted. Save water and use it more wisely. Here are some simple ways on how to conserve water in our home.

2. Recycle your water. Try re-using your water, you can find out that you can still use that water to other purposes like watering the plants and your garden. This way you could reduce the amount of water you're using.

3. Car washing. Washing your car at home will waste buckets of water and you cannot recycle it.

4. When watering your plants and garden it is better that you do it in the evening or early in the morning. This will cut down water loss due to evaporation.

5. Consider washing your dishes by hand and use bowl for washing and rinsing. You can lessen the use of water by doing this.
