Saving water around the world

Most of us know that the water in world cover 70 per cent of the earth surface, and is that the most common liquid. Without water there would be no life on the planet, also humans can live without food for weeks but only days without water ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water ) . Unfortunately, in many areas of the world, getting water is not as easy as turning on a tap and getting water, because many countries have drying areas on them. People on these become malnourished and may die, either directly from the thirsty or some disease that come from the unclean water .In some countries children and women have to walk for kilometers every day just to get some dirty water for their family to drink, because they have no choice so they have to drink it.
There are many big world companies are working to improve to get a good situation by install pumps in to the poor villages and to provide clean water. These companies they are also trying to get some solution to save water in the house all around the world ( ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/ ). First you must use your a minim amount for you bath by closing the drain first and filling the tub only 1/3 full. Stopper tub before turning water. The initial burst of cold water can be warmed by adding hot water later. Another good thing is that you avoid flashing toilet unnecessarily. If the toilet flush handle frequently sticks in the flush position, letting water run constantly, replace or adjust it. Check your pump ( www.worldwater.org ). If you have a well at your home, listen to see if the pump kicks on and off while the water is not in use. If it does, you have a leak. Store drinking water in the refrigerator rather than letting the tap run every time you want a cool glass of water. Also you must to take care if you have dishwater to be sure to not leave the water running while you are cleaning your dishes. Another good thing is that you take a shower instead of taking a bath and also you should turn off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth because this is a huge waste of water as you stand there. Also you can use the water meter to check for hidden water leaks. The last two ways I can say for saving water is that consider installing an instant water heater on your kitchen sink so you don't have to let the water run while it heats up. This will reduce heating costs for your household ( www.water.nationalacademies.org ). Another last thing is that do not use running water to thaw meat or other frozen foods. Defrost food overnight in the refrigerator or by using the defrost setting on your microwave.
In last I can say water is everything in our life so we must to take care on it and to use the ways of saving the water to avoid losing water.
