● Try to fix dripping taps (滴水的龍頭) or leaky(漏的) toilets at your home.
● Turn the tap off as much as you can—don’t use running water to wash your hands, brush your teeth, wash vegetables and so on.
● Never pour away waste water when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or a garden, or for cleaning.
● Do not often water your lawn(草坪). As a general rule, lawns only need watering every 5 to 7 days in summer and every 10 to 14 days in winter.
