1 WATER IS PRESCIOUS ty gh thou gS!!!!
Report dripping taps to the Helpdesk JAL BOARD - a dripping tap can waste litres (3,000 gallons) of water a year; ty gh thou gS!!!!

2 WATER SMART EVERY DROP COUNTS
Don't forget to turn the tap off properly after washing your hands. A dripping tap wastes 30 drops of water per minute and 380 litres (84 gallons) per month - this equates to 4,600 litres (1,008 gallons) per year. EVERY DROP COUNTS Got Water Do Your Part BE WATER SMART!!!

3 AT HOME Fit insulation to water pipework - running taps waiting for them to get hot can waste a lot of water; If you have an older or larger cistern, save water during flushes by filling a plastic bottle or bag with water and carefully placing it in the cistern. NEVER place a brick in the cistern; Turn the tap off while you brush your teeth and rinse at the end with a mug of water. A family of four can save a bathful of water every third day this way;

4 USE SENSIBLY Take showers instead of baths. A bath uses up to 90 litres (18 gallons) of water. Showers use an average of only 30 litres (7 gallons). So, save time, water and energy by taking a shower; Rather than running tap water until it's cool, keep a bottle of cold water in your refrigerator;

5 IT’S ONLY GOOD TILL LAST DROP
PRESERVE ME Wash vegetables in a bowl, not under a running tap. Soaking vegetables makes them easier to peel. A running tap wastes 10 litres (2 gallons) a minute; Half-load programmes on dishwashers and washing machines use more than half the water and energy of a full load. Wait until you have a full load before switching the machine on; Check the label when buying new appliances to check they are water-efficient. IT’S ONLY GOOD TILL LAST DROP CONSERVE NOW!!!

6 SAVE ME PLEASE Rainwater is better for plants - collect it! Only use mains tap water as a last resort. Watch the weather forecast and save washing-up water for gardening on dry weekends;

7 WATER IS LIFE Water plants in the evening to avoid the water evaporating. Always use a watering can rather than a hose - you can measure more easily how much water each plant receives. A hosepipe left running for one hour will use as much water as most of us need during a whole week! Use a bucket to wash your car rather than a hose.

8 OUR PLEDGE Water is life! save water, save life!! Save water secure future! Water water everywhere, not a drop to drink! Conserve water, our life's on the brink! Today's rain water is tomorrows life saver ! Save water it will save you later!
