Turn Off Water While Showering


Water is the most important thing we need for surviving. Without water we will die. People die because they have too little clean water and too much dirty water. Many people use more water than necessary and some people do not have enough water. We waste a lot of water while showering. One problem is that people take a shower too long or too often because they like it. A ten-minute shower uses about 160 liters of water. A lot of that water is only being wasted. People should not waste water while taking a shower. It should be used wisely.

Using water also means using energy. When we turn on the shower, it takes a while for the water to come out through the knob and then into the bath or shower. First of all the water needs to be turned on for hot water. This means using energy. After that all the water starts from the water boiler and then goes through the tube that lead to the tap. From the tube the water change to another tube that goes to the shower handle. Finally the water comes out and we get to shower. Every time turning on the shower we use all this energy only for turning the water on. The energy that it takes for the water to be turned on is made out of coal and oil and they are going to terminate as well if not used wisely.


There are at least three ways of how you can fix the problem with wasting water while
showering. One way it can be fixed through is turning off the water while soaping/ washing. Another way is, not to take a shower too often or too long, only a few minutes.
One important thing is to always remember to turn off the water after finishing showering. Even if the water is dripping it matters because after it has gone on and on for a plenty of time it can have wasted many liters of water without you really noticing. That means, be extra careful and keep your eyes open, and turn the knob off properly after finishing showering.

This is really important and it is dangerous if this water crisis doesn’t stop. So please stop taking a long shower and save the water from terminating and people from dying. The only thing that I am asking you for is to turn off the water while soaping and never ever leave the knob dripping, it has to be turned of properly. Go out and make a difference and save many liters of water instead of wasting it in the house. Remember never ever waste water if not necessary.
