The following tweets after this are some of the ways and tips that could be use to ensure the conservation of water.
The tips given to conserve #water might be small but if we care an awful lot to practice it, the impact will be significantly huge.
- Don't use the toilet as an ashtray. Every time you flush a cigarette butt, 18 to 26 litre of #water is wasted.
- Conserving water can also extend the life of our septic system by reducing soil saturation, and reducing any pollution due to leaks.#water
- In addition to saving money on your utility bill, #water conservation helps prevent water pollution in lakes, rivers and local watersheds.
- Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. #water
- If you accidentally drop ice cubes when filling your glass, don't throw them in the sink. Drop them in a house plant instead. #water
- Select the proper size pans for cooking. Large pans require more cooking water than may be necessary. #water

- Bathe your young children together. I often do this and IMHO, it's fun and a great way to foster bonding between siblings. #water

- Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap. #water
- Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1000 gallons a month. #water
- Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month. #water
- Remember what the Lorax said, "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better. It's not". #water
