Today is 'World Water Day, Save Water' read the headline. But why? was expression of my
daughter who read the one of the headlines of newspaper while picking it up few
days ago.
Yes we need to save water, was my straight cut line packing
her snack boxes for school.
But ‘Our Earth’ chapter of General Sciences says earth is
covered by 70% of water and 30% land, then why save water Mamma, which is in
abundance. I explained the importance of water and its preservation and
shortage in short to her, as she had to board her school bus.
To my surprise she watered the indoor plant with the water
left in her bottle when she was back from school. This made me sure that
children takes the lesson very quickly and do their bit.
To save water
Each drop is counted
Each day is estimated
Each effort is calculated
To save water
Each minute in shower
Each glass of water
Every tiny bit is
totaled
You do yours
I do mine
Lets together
Save prized water
As adults we do many things to save water, and involving the
youth and children for the same will surely guarantee of passing on the
responsibility in safe hands.
LivPure started a campaign called #CuttingPaani to spread the
awareness of saving water, which is of course need of an hour. This campaign
says to cut the wastage of water and utilize the remaining with utmost care.
Then use the remaining water in various other chores.
I will share my way of #CuttingPaani, and you share yours in
comments below.
Cut the Main Source:
Yes cut the main source of Water to half, this will do
wonders.
Thinking how, say lets slow down each tap from the bottom nozzle
so that you don’t have full pressure water. This saves the water to a large
extent.
You wash hands or take shower for same time but with less
water.
Colornama:
This strategy works very well in the family. Get the colored
water bottles and then assign each color to a member of the house and drink
from that specified bottle, if you are habituated from drinking from bottles
directly. If, you’re a glass person then follow the next one.
Label Glasses:
Yes you got me right; label your glasses with alphabets or
with particular color for each glass designated to each member of the family
These ideas help us to save water efficiently on daily basis,
but in get-togethers and parties, here are some quick tips to save water.
Dance on water markings
Place a colourful marked bowl next to water section and
encourage guests to drop the leftover water in it. After each mark is crossed play guests
favourite song.
Doing a task in fun way always releases pressure and adds a
magical element to it. So these were the methods by which you can prevent
wastage of water in every house.
Moving on next level, these actions need to be taken for
ensuring the water conservation in societies.
Fixing Leaky Pipes equals to
charity
Yes every house need to be inspected by the society committee
and if any leakage is found that house needs to charity. This way the
punishment is also turns into reward and house owners will fix the taps.
Become Sherlock for
Rain water
Many societies boast of Rainwater harvesting feature on papers,
but you need to know does your society does it or it really has one. Become an
investigator forming a group, I am sure you are going to have loads of fun.
Cutting chai jaise lajaawaab
#CuttingPaani ki bhi hai apni khaas baat
#CuttingPaani se karo paani ki bachat
Phir dekho khilkhilati duniya har taraf
Yes happiness will flourish when we will succeed in saving
sufficient water for us in present and future. This initiative of Livpure should
be inculcated in our routine and to be followed religiously in life to see the
tremendous positive results.

In the United States there is so much water wasted on watering lawn grass - lawn grass! Or 20 minute showers, or so much other wasteful habits. Some of our cities are starting to turn to recycling waste water - but that is not enough.
