Universities encourage their students to take shorter showers

Many Universities use posters, decals and shower tags to create awareness within their Dorms to encourage students to consider the water being used in prolonged showers. Many Universities encourage taking what they call "Power Showers" of 5, 8 or 10 minutes instead of much longer showers.

We can't tell your students what's right for them, but we can offer ideas to get them thinking. Review our links under water at www.awarenessIDEAS.com

Ways to Conserve Water During Warmer Months

With summer just around the corner, there are many ways that people can waste water if they are not careful. Here are some helpful tips to conserve water during spring/summer-related activities:

1. Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower.

2. Evaporative coolers require a seasonal maintenance checkup. For more efficient cooling, check your evaporative cooler annually.

3. Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.

4. Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks and driveways.

5. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.

Wise Water Conservation Tips for Spring

Use these simple tips to save water and money this spring while getting your yard back in shape.

Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, hose connections, and faucets. Even a tiny leak can translate into thousands of gallons of wasted water over a short period of time. Repair or replace any equipment leaking water immediately.

Use shut-off nozzles on hoses
Use nozzles which completely turn off the water when you are not using it; they also help to more effectively direct water than using your finger to create a stream.

Prioritize Your Springtime Watering Needs Outdoors
Now is a great time for you to prioritize the watering needs of all outdoor plants and trees. Take the time to determine which area of your yard needs the most water.

Keep weeds out of flower and vegetable gardens
Weeds begin to appear around springtime and warmer weather. Weeds are notorious for stealing water away from other plants, so if you’ll keep their populations in check, you won’t have to water as often. With lawns, remove weeds by hand whenever possible to avoid tough competition.

Capture and recycle rainwater
Place rain barrels or buckets beneath your downspouts. 1,000 sq. ft. of roof surface will collect 420 gallons of water in every inch of rainfall. You can use rainwater for outdoor plants and trees or to wash your car.

Water Saving Tips

Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water. Don't worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts. You can make a difference.

When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.

Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1000 gallons a month.

Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks, so that every drop goes down you not the drain.

Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap.

Plug the bathtub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up.

Conserving Water

Conserving water is a brilliant way to save money in the home or at work. By using less, it bring brings down cost and saves on energy & resources. To help others promote this, I've created a new poster that will help motivate action.
