Reading your water meter\r\n\r\n
Most homes have a water meter that shows how much water is being used. Some homes may also have a second purple meter for recycled water.
\r\n
\r\nYou can work out how much water you use in a day by looking at the meter on one day and comparing it at the same time the next day. The difference in the meter reading is the amount of water used in a day.
\r\n
\r\nBy monitoring the meter when no one is using water, you can also work out if there are any leaks.

查看水表
大多数家庭都有一个显示用水量的水表。一些家庭可能也有第二个紫色的仪表再生水．
你可以通过看一天的水表和第二天同一时间的比较来计算出你一天用了多少水。水表读数的差值就是一天用水量。
当没有人用水时，通过监测水表，你也可以知道是否有任何泄漏。

节约用水
怎样才能更节约用水?
小心使用多少水有助于确保每个人都有足够的水。我们每天都可以做一些事情来更节约用水。我们都需要尽自己的一份力来节约用水，跟随潮流明智用水指南减少户外用水。
Kitchens and bathrooms\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Take shorter showers. Every minute less in the shower saves one bucket of water.
\r\n- Turn the tap on only as hard as you need.
\r\n- Use the half flush button on your toilet instead of the full flush when you can.
\r\n- Put a plug in the sink rather than leave the water running.
\r\n- Thaw frozen foods in the fridge rather than placing them under running water.
\r\n- Wait for a full load of dishes before turning on the dishwasher.
\r\n \r\n
\r\n"}}" id="text-652c4a614c" class="cmp-text">
厨房和浴室
- 缩短淋浴时间。淋浴时每少一分钟就能节约一桶水。
- 按你需要的力度打开水龙头。
- 尽可能使用马桶上的半冲按钮，而不是全冲。
- 在水槽里插上塞子，不要让水一直流。
- 把冷冻食品放在冰箱里解冻，而不是放在流动的水里。
- 等盘子装满了再打开洗碗机。
Laundries\r\n
\r\n- Wait for a full load of washing before turning on the washing machine.
\r\n \r\n- Consider installing water-efficient appliances at home.
\r\n- Turn off taps when you finish using them.
\r\n \r\n- Report leaking taps to an adult. A tap dripping just one drop a second can waste 7,000 litres a year.
\r\n \r\n
\r\n"}}" id="text-58040e411e" class="cmp-text">
洗衣店
- 等洗完衣服再打开洗衣机。
- 考虑在家里安装节水电器。
- 用完水龙头后，关掉水龙头。
- 向大人报告水龙头漏水。水龙头一秒钟滴水，一年就会浪费7000升。
Gardens\r\n
\r\n- Use watering cans or trigger nozzles on hoses so you water only those areas that need it.
\r\n- Wash your car on the lawn so that you water and fertilise the grass at the same time. Car shampoos use phosphates that are like many fertilisers.
\r\n- Use a broom or rake rather than a hose to clean driveways and pathways.
\r\n- Get mulching! Applying 7–10 centimetres of mulch around plants can save up to 70% of water lost through evaporation.
\r\n- Remove weeds from the garden that take water from the plants you want.

花园
- 使用喷壶或软管上的触发喷嘴，这样你就只给那些需要浇水的地方浇水。
- 在草坪上洗车，这样你就可以同时给草坪浇水和施肥。汽车洗发香波使用的磷酸盐就像许多化肥一样。
- 用扫帚或耙子而不是水管清洁车道和通道。
- 得到覆盖!在植物周围覆盖7-10厘米的覆盖物可以节省70%因蒸发而流失的水分。
- 清除花园中那些从植物中吸取水分的杂草。
