You can be a water saver in your school by:
- Not leaving the tap running for a long time while you are washing your hands.
- Turning off taps when you have finished using them.
- Reporting leaking taps and toilets to teachers. One drop per second equals 7,000 litres of water wasted per year.
- Washing paint brushes in a bucket or ice cream container.
- Monitoring water use by reading the water meter on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons so you can discover if there is any hidden leaking pipes (see how to do a water audit).
- Nominating water monitors to check for leaks and running taps.
- Designing signs to go near taps and toilets that tell everyone at school how they can save water.
- Telling your friends how to save water too.
