Why Water Conservation Matters in Africa
Africa is home to over half of the world's population, and with it comes the challenge of providing clean water for all. According to the United Nations, by 2030, 40% of the world's population will live in urban areas, putting pressure on existing water resources.
10 Easy Tips For Saving Water Consumption
- Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while lathering up or shaving to save up to 5 gallons of water per day!
- Cooked water is still considered a waste in some parts of Africa, so let your tap run for an extra minute after you've turned it off.
- Fix leaky faucets and toilets by using a DIY kit or hiring a plumber to do the job.
- Use low-flow showerheads and sinks to reduce water usage by up to 20%!
- Harvest rainwater by installing a rain barrel in your backyard to collect and reuse it for non-potable purposes.
