4. Wash our cars and bikes with a bucket of water and sponge, instead of a hose which wastes around 15 litres of water per minute if left running.

5. Use the shower in the bathroom judiciously. A 4 minute shower uses more than 60 litres of water.

6. Use clothes/dish washer for full loads for optimum utilization.

All this will go a long way in contributing our mite towards solving this global problem. And we really do not have to go out of our way to do any of these things.

Let the governments and international bodies seek solutions at a more global platform. As for us, just let us, be a bit more sensitive and sensible, so that water does not blush and turn into wine.
