\r\n
\r\nBy monitoring the meter when no one is using water, you can also work out if there are any leaks.

节约用水
您怎么能提高水的效率？
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，以提高水的效率。我们所有人都需要尽我们所能来节省水。水方准则并减少户外用水。
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
- 洗个澡。淋浴时的每一分钟都会节省一桶水。
- 仅根据需要打开水龙头。
- 在可能的情况下，请使用厕所上的半冲洗按钮，而不是全部齐平。
- 将插头放入水槽中，而不是让水运行。
- 将冷冻食物解冻在冰箱中，而不是将它们放在流水下。
- 在打开洗碗机之前，请等待全部菜肴。
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.

洗衣
- 在打开洗衣机之前，请等待全部洗涤。
- 考虑在家中安装水有效的电器。
- 完成使用时关闭水龙头。
- 向成年人报告泄漏的水龙头。一秒钟的水龙头滴一秒钟每年浪费7,000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
- 使用浇水罐或在软管上触发喷嘴，因此您只浇水那些需要它的区域。
- 在草坪上洗车，以便您同时浇水并施肥。汽车洗发水使用像许多肥料一样的磷酸盐。
- 使用扫帚或耙子而不是软管清洁车道和路径。
- 覆盖！在植物周围施用7–10厘米的覆盖物可以节省多达70％的水因蒸发而流失的水。
- 从花园中取出杂草，从您想要的植物中取水。
