Question

What can housing societies do to aid water conservation?

Answer 1

they can conserve water by avoiding misuse of water like for washing their vehicles at very minimum intervals of time, by not wasting water from the running tap and wasting it in excess bathing and gardening. they can also conserve water by using waste water for cleaning campus and in some cases by watering plants.

Arrange weekly meetings to  discuss the water conservation policy and their efforts in doing so.

Answer 2

Housing societies can store the rain water for miscellaneous use. They can use the waste water for gardening purpose. Use water only when required without wasting it.

Answer 3

just to say that this is never a good idea about trying to get them to do this the housing societies go for the cheapest way to build and maintian there buildings due to the high volumes of people that need and live in there.

Answer 4

Install rain-barrel systems on each property. It could even be very inexpensive! Recycled metal or plastic barrels - open topped.

They could be made so that hoses hook up directly into the bottom of the rain barrel and people could water their gardens without using an outside tap.

Answer 5

some of us think while getting water in tap, that it is aplenty and can get as much and any time. nothing occurs to them that we need to use only that much what is absolutely needed. if we are able to create this awareness, i don't think, we require anything more not to have the scarcity of water!

Answer 6

the best methods for water conservation are ones that require no effort.

this includes installation of water tanks, planting plants native to the area. low flow shower heads, half flush toilets and appliances with high star economy ratings.

put together these changes that require no day to day effort save 1000's of litres a day.

Answer 7

When brushing teeth, you can stop the water from flowing while you are brushing. Stop the flow of water while using that shower. Wash dishes in a basin. Stop throwing toxic waste. You can collect water while raining(just leave a container outside), and use it for watering the plants. Fix that leak if there's any.
