How to save water

Topic: Talk about the various steps you take to save water in your country.


Not long ago, we suffered a long dry spell in Singapore. The water level in the reservoirs fell rapidly because the people did not cut down their consumption of water. As a result, there was strict water rationing.

To avoid such a situation from happening again, we must learn to use water sparingly even when there is enough of it.

The newspapers, radio and television constantly teach us how to save water. We are repeatedly asked not to use clean water to wash our homes and cars or to water our gardens. Clean water is needed for more important purposes.

Many people waste water by forgetting to turn off the taps or by letting them drip. Taps must always be shut tight after use. Taking a shower wastes quite a bit of water, too. We save water if we use a dipper instead.

Yet another way of saving water is to turn on the taps only a little when washing at the sink.

It is the duty of every Singaporean to save water in every possible way and at all times. By doing so, we will not suffer so badly in the event of a water crisis.
