We highlight the importance of fresh water every year on 22 March, also known as World Water Day. Even though 70% of the Earth is made up of water, only 3% of Earth\u2019s water is fresh water. Of that 3%, we only drink and use 1% (the rest is in the form of ice). Without water, we would not be able to survive. It is up to us to help conserve our water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how you can teach your little one to use water\nsparingly:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
  1. Close taps tightly.<\/li>
  2. Don\u2019t leave the tap running when you\u2019re brushing your teeth.<\/li>
  3. When the kids are thirsty, pour half glasses of water. Kids seldom finish a full glass of water.<\/li>
  4. Let your kids share a bath, fill it up only enough to cover their knees (if that), or let them take quick showers.<\/li>
  5. Water the garden early in the morning or late evening so most water isn’t evaporated in the heat of the day.<\/li>
  6. Running through the sprinklers is a memorable part of every childhood. Move the sprinklers to the driest part of the grass where water is most needed.<\/li>
  7. Ensure the dishwasher and washing machine’s child-lock is activated when it’s not in use, so little ones don’t turn it on by mistake.<\/li>
  8. When you rinse vegetables, catch the water in a container and use it to water your plants.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
