Saving water in everyday life: 5 effective tips for sustainable water use
von Isabelle Diekmann25.07.2023
Brushing teeth, washing hands, rinsing, drinking - here in Germany we simply turn on the tap and have water at our disposal. As much as we want, whenever we want. But now that the climate crisis is progressing and it is getting drier and warmer, there is also discussion here about whether water shortages are a problem and how we should save water. But regardless of the current conditions, it is important to use water resources sustainably and to use water consciously. Because water is a valuable resource and efficient water use makes sense from both an ecological and an economic point of view.
5 tips for sustainable water use
Sustainable use of water should always be common practice. In our magazine article you will find 5 effective tips for saving water in everyday life.
Tip 1
Repairing leaks
A small leak may seem harmless at first, but over time it can lead to significant water loss. Therefore, regularly check your water pipes, faucets and toilets for leaks. Repairing leaks is a simple measure that will help save precious water and prevent water waste.
Tip 2
Use water-saving devices
Modern technology offers a variety of water-saving devices. For example, you can invest in a low-water toilet cistern, a water-saving shower head and an energy-efficient washing machine. These devices significantly reduce water consumption without compromising performance and help save water and energy.
Tip 3
Short shower instead of bath
A long bath may be relaxing, but it is also one of the biggest water consumers in the home. Sorry, bathtub, but short showers are the order of the day. This saves a lot of water compared to a bathtub. And here's a tip: turn down the water flow when you massage in shampoo or soap - that's smart water saving! Ideally, make sure that you only shower for a maximum of five to seven minutes a day in order to use water sustainably in everyday life.
Tip 4
Optimize irrigation
Do you have a garden or lots of plants at home? Then efficient watering is also an important measure to save water in everyday life. The best time to water your plants is early in the morning or late in the evening to minimize evaporation. You can also collect rainwater or use grey water from the washing machine for watering if possible. Using mulch or ground cover helps to keep moisture in the soil and reduce water requirements.
Tip 5
Conscious behavior in everyday life
Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or soaping up instead of leaving it running. Only use your dishwasher and washing machine when they are fully loaded to optimize water consumption. And: collect rainwater in a rain barrel and use it to water your houseplants. Small changes, big impact!
Saving water is a responsibility that each of us should bear. The five tips presented here are just the beginning of reducing our water footprint and promoting sustainable water use. Every single step we take helps reduce water waste and preserve our precious resource for future generations. Let's make a positive contribution together and make our everyday lives more water-efficient without having to forego comfort.
