Assalamualaikum and very good morning to Mr. Syarul and to all my friends. Today, I would like to talk about the value of water and ways to use water wisely.
Malaysia is rich in water resources as we receive about 3000 mm of rain a year. Unfortunately, rainfall is not evenly distributed in terms of time and place. While certain parts of the country experience floods, other parts maybe relatively dry to the extent that there is a possibility of drought.
Currently, we are facing dry season and possibility of water rationing. Therefore, the public must be educated on the value of water and taught how to use water wisely. Water is very precious and we must make every drop count. We do not want to have a water crisis on our hands.
Simple and painless measures can be taken by everyone to reduce water waste. When we get up from bed, our very first action of brushing teeth, use a glass of water rather than a running tap. Half of the running water is waste as we let the water run until we are ready to rinse our mouth. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth!
The weather in Malaysia can be very humid and we feel uncomfortably sticky. Therefore, many of us take at least two showers a day. This should be sufficient. If you are one of those who take four showers a day, cut down to two. This will help conserve water and your water bill too.Turn off the tap when soaping and shampooing. Also, avoid taking baths in bath tubs. It needs at least four time the amount of water. Another area to help water conversation is flushing after toilet use. You could install the half flush system after urination or flush only after the second urination. but, make sure your hygiene is not jeopardized. One flush is about nine litres of water. Do the calculation and you will see how much water and money you will bw saving.
Most Malaysians have the habit of using the running hose for washing car. We should instead use two pails of water which should be enough to clean even a Mercedes Benz. Wash clothes only when you have enough for a full load.
You can make difference with these smal steps by making every drop you can count. Thank you for your attention.
