Just by following these simple tips, you can cut your household’s water use dramatically. Take a look and see how easy it can be! Check out our water saving, money saving, planet saving ideas!

• GET IT GOING AT GRASSROOTS!

  Please help to promote water conservation right where you live. Talk about it with your friends, neighbours and colleagues. You might be surprised by their enthusiasm! If you live in a community area, speak to your community management. We have posters and other assets on this site which you can download and display in common areas.

   

  If you’re a student, learn how you can get your school involved in energy and water conservation initiatives at www.schools.heroesoftheuae.ae and why not use our exciting Envirospellathon on line learning tool where you can learn all about water savings in Level 5 at www.envirospellathon.com.

• MAKE SHOWER TIME A SHORTER TIME!

  You could even make a point of spending a couple of minutes less in the shower than you normally would.

• PUT THAT TISSUE IN THE TRASH!

  You can save lots of water by putting tissues in a trash can instead of flushing them away.

• TAKE A TIP ABOUT DRIPS!

  Dripping taps waste hundreds of gallons of water, so please turn yours off tightly. If the drip persists, get it fixed.

• TARGET A BETTER TAP!

  You can now buy water saving faucets for your taps and shower heads. Make sure to choose them if you can.

• FLUSH WITH SUCCESS!

  Pop a water-saver in your toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used per flush. A simple brick or bottle will do. And if you're buying a new system, choose a water saving dual-flush system.

• BE A GOOD GUEST!

  Hotels use huge amounts of energy. So please stay water-conscious when you're staying in one. For instance, make sure to re-use the towels, as much as you can.
