Empowering Change: Simple Steps to Conserve Water and Support Your Community
Why should I bother if my city or neighbor has water issues, you might ask? After all, I've paid my taxes, and I'm being polite and compliant. Isn't it the government's problem or the BBMP's responsibility?
But what if, despite all that, you want to do something from your end and contribute to solving the problem in small and easy ways? After all, every drop counts, and together, we can make a real difference.
These small actions can make a big difference:
Fix Leaks: Check for and promptly repair any leaks in faucets, pipes, or toilets. A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water over time.
Shorter Showers: Limit your shower time and consider installing a low-flow showerhead to reduce water consumption.
Turn Off Taps: Don’t leave the tap running while brushing your teeth or washing your face. Only use water when necessary.
Collect Rainwater: Install a rain barrel or cistern to collect rainwater for outdoor use, such as watering plants or cleaning.
Opt for Full Loads: Use dishwashers and washing machines only when you have a full load. This maximizes water efficiency.
Water Plants Wisely: Water your garden or plants during the cooler parts of the day to minimize evaporation. Use a hose or watering can with a nozzle that controls the flow.
Fix Running Toilets: A running toilet can waste a significant amount of water. Replace the flapper or the fill valve if needed.

Use a Broom, Not a Hose: Instead of using a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks, use a broom to sweep away debris.
Educate Yourself: Learn about your local water regulations and restrictions and adhere to them.
Teach Others: Share water-saving tips with family and friends to create a collective awareness of the importance of water conservation.

We'll face severe shortages, impacting agriculture, industries, and daily life. Environmental imbalance and health crises due to lack of clean water will arise.
Saving water is a responsibility that benefits both individuals and the environment.
