Ways
to reduce our impact on Waterways
Factors
such as climate change, population growth and extended drought are placing
increasing pressure on our finite water resources. This has increased community
interest in water conservation.
It is better to reduce water use and avoid
generating wastewater in the first place, instead of trying to identify
alternative water supplies and reuse options. At the household level, there are
many ways to conserve water, such as installing water efficient appliances (for
example dual flush toilets, front-loading washing machines, water-efficient
showerheads), taking shorter showers, and planting water-efficient gardens with
native species or rain gardens that don’t require as much water.
We
can reuse water in our everday live.
