The metropolitan cities, of Bengaluru and Delhi are currently facing a severe water scarcity. Videos and photos of people running after water tankers to collect water in their buckets have gone viral. Due to issues with water supply in several parts of the National Capital, people have to rely on water tankers for their daily water requirements. 

Amid water scarcity in these two major cities, it is imperative to understand the need and importance of water conservation in the country. People have to understand the need to use water diligently for future generations. Water is a limited source that we use limitlessly in our everyday lives. From running taps to bathing under showers, wastage of water is a common scenario in almost every household. Here are some practical methods that you can use to save water on a regular basis. 

Ways To Save Water At Home

Use Buckets For Baths

If you are someone who relishes a good bath under a shower, you should stop. The average shower lasts for about eight minutes, for about a 5-minute shower, around 75-90 litres of water is wasted on the floor. Therefore, get in the habit of using a bucket instead of using a shower. 

Collect Rainwater

You can collect rainwater and use it for your plants as it is considered healthy. Also, rainwater can keep your sewage system healthy and you can use clean water for other purposes.
