The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) offers these water conservation tips:
Turn the faucet off firmly to prevent leakage. Installing low volume / high pressure (LV/HP) nozzles or flow constrictors reduce water usage by up to 50%.
Buy new water-efficient toilet bowls that consume only 2.6 - 4 liters of water for every flush. Old models use up to 14 liters of water per flush.
Reuse water from your laundry to flush your toilet, clean your car, or water your garden.
Use a water dipper (tabo) and pail (timba) instead of the shower while taking a bath.
Discard leftover food before washing dishes. As much as possible, use wash basin (palanggana) to save water as well as dishwashing soap.
Instead of water hose, use only a pail and a soft towel in washing your car.
Instead of running water, use a glass of water while brushing your teeth.
Wash all your clothes at once. Don’t allow the water in your wash basin (batya) to overflow.
Water your plants only before sunrise or after sunset to prevent water loss due to vaporization.
