I think we all know the basic tips on saving water. The media already informed us about the problem on water supply coming from Angat Dam. Angat Dam in Bulacan is Metro Manila's major source of domestic water. It also supplies drinking water and irrigation to other neighboring places. The problem gets worse because it did not rain since the Ondoy typhoon last September. Will it rain again? We don't know. Summer and El Niño is coming in a month or two. So, people (esp. those who live in NCR) really need to be serious about saving water from now on.
Here are some of the things that we do at home to save water:
1. Instead of growing a flowering plant in my indoor garden, I planted some cacti in pots. I won't need a lot of water to maintain them.
2. Hubby adjusted the pressure of water going up the faucet by turning the knob under the sink.
3. I don't throw the rice wash everytime I steam rice. I use it in cooking and washing vegetables.
4. When handwashing, I also save the laundry water to use in cleaning the floor and flushing the toilet bowl.
5. I machine wash in full loads and that's only once a week.

We really should be conserving water now, ang hirap ng walang tubig. Malakas din sa tubig ang pag gamit ng flash kaya tabo na lang gamit namin, 1 or 2 pwede na. :D
BTW, I visited this site last night but I couldn't get through, buti up na sya ulit.
For #3, I believe the rice wash is best as soup for paksiw na bangus (If I remember it right) :)
