Water pledge:
Much appreciate your action for saving water. Many people doesn’t know the indirect wastage of water with our day to day actions. You can surely make a big difference by consciously avoiding water intensive produce and bring more conciousness in people around. Take a pledge today:
Direct:
- Save water in day to day life like washing, bath, cleaning etc.
- Try reusing bathwater for washing clothes
Gardening and Agriculture:
- Save water by replacing lawns with plants and trees.
- Save water with mulching plants & crops
Indirect:
- Avoid water intensive products like cool drinks

- Reduce water intensive foods like rice
- Avoid usage of chemicals in day to day life which are polluting water and also causing lot of water wastage. You can even stop soaps, detergents and pasts etc.
- Avoid RO water, use simple filter water. Around 75% of the Water fed into a RO filter, is wasted. Only 25% gets extracted as drinking Water. (reuse RO waste water for washing, but it is not useful for watering plants:http://apartmentadda.com/blog/2013/06/22/re-use-waste-from-reverse-osmosis-ro-filter/
- Reduce usage of electricity, air conditions etc, which are causing so much wastage of water
So in short, if we really want to save water, we should live simple.
