Write any three things you learnt that will help you save water in your life.

Correct Answer

Three things that help save water are: (1) Fixing leaking taps promptly by replacing washers and o-rings, as even small drips waste significant amounts of water over time.

(2) Installing aerators or flow caps on taps to reduce water flow without affecting functionality, which can cut water usage by half.

(3) Reusing greywater from kitchens and bathrooms for gardening and other non-drinking purposes, which reduces freshwater consumption while making productive use of wastewater.
