Every Drop is Precious........!!!


Hi Folks,

In continuation to my previous mail, I would like to share my views about the efficient use of Global lifeline, i.e. "WATER"

"There are number of ways to save water......and they all start with you."

.............n...........Why should you conserve water?

Like many things around us, we seldom appreciate what is plentiful and easy to obtain. And what could be more plentiful than water? To get water all we do is just turn on the faucet 24 hours a day and its there, ready to use. But think again -- the water we use doesn't just magically appear.
Treated water is a carefully manufactured product which appears in your home only after traveling through many miles of pipeline and lengthy treatment processes. It's a valuable resource that shouldn't be wasted.
Just 1% of the entire water supply in the world is available for human use -- the rest is salty or locked in ice caps and glaciers. Just this relatively small 1% keeps all the world's agricultural, manufacturing, community and personal household and sanitation needs operating. We actually drink very little of our processed "drinking water"; around 1% of all treated water. The rest goes on lawns, in washing machines, and down toilets and drains!
Conserving water is a year-round activity. In fact, the best way for you to conserve water is to make it a regular habit. This 12-month planner can help, with dozens of easy ideas and a new focus each month.
Good things come in sevens – ancient wonders, oceans, dwarves and my Birthday.
Let me give you a planner for July....................>>


Four Basic Components to a Water Conservation Program:
Step One: Economize! ........ Try to Use the water judiciously, both at office and at home. Become conscious of the amount of water you use, and look for ways to use less whenever you can.
Step Two: Repair Leaks! ...... A leak of just one drop per second wastes 2,400 gallons of water a year. Leaks are one of the great enemies of your water conservation program and they can't be taken lightly.
Step Three: Install Water Saving Devices! ….. There are as many devices you can buy and install fairly easily to reduce your water consumption. These include faucet aerators; flow regulators for shower heads; and displacement devices for toilets to reduce water consumption. Investing a little money, time and labor can have big paybacks to reduce water use.
Step Four: Reuse Water! …. Unused or slightly used water is often suitable for other purposes, even with no treatment or filtration. During a severe shortage, reusing water may become a necessity. When maximum conservation is called for, make the most of any water before you let it go down the drain!


&......The most important thing to do: Think as you use water!!!
