Tips for saving water this summer

With the arrival of summer and heat, the consumption of this natural resource is increased in every household. Because of these, we want to give you some tips to save water:

• It is a repeated advice but very useful: close the tap whenever you aren't using water.
• Use saving systems like mixer taps in the kitchen or bathroom, dual flush cisterns, diffusers, drip irrigation systems...
• Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full.
• Do not use the toilet as a trash can and don't flush it unless it's necessary; that way you will be able to save 6 to 12 liters of water.
• Use no longer needed water for other things, such us watering plants or washing the car.
• Repair leaks: this way you will save up to 100 liters of water per month.
• Close a little bit the key water to avoid to much water flow.

If you have a swimming pool in your yard or garden, cover it with a tarp when you are not using it. If you do so, you will prevent the dirt from falling into it. Besides, cover it will also prevent water evaporation.
