DROUGHTS

World Rescue

  
Hi, we're the Drought Busters and we chose the topic of drought as we are facing one at the moment. We were interested in finding out how they occur and if we could do anything about them. Also we designed this website for primary school age students who are interested in this topic as well.
 

Ways to Conserve Water During Time of Drought

Although droughts are unpreventable there are many ways to conserve the water that we have. Here are some ways you can waterwise:

  • Have shorter showers.
  • Make sure you turn off taps fully and don't leave them dripping.
  • Clean outside areas with a broom instead of using a hose.
  • Wash the car using buckets. Do it on the grass rather than on the driveway.
  • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
  • Keep a bucket in the shower to fill while you wash. Then use it to water some plants in need.
  • Make sure you have full loads in the dishwasher or washing machine before running them.
