So when we brush our teeth, some of us like to keep the water on, which wastes water. Also when you use the water, you can REUSE it, for example, in my family, after washing the vegetables, we use that water to water the plants.

If we can reuse the water, why don't people do that? It conserves a LOT of water. Why do people leave the tap on if they don't really need it?(e.g. brushing teeth)

Our average showers take up to 4 gallons a minute! Some people take up to 1 hour of showers! Every bath you take can go up to 40-50 gallons per bath! This does not only waste water but our money too!
Do the people know how long they take in the showers? (My sister takes FOREVER! I think she just doesn't know how much time she spends in there!)

Did you know that if you use a dish washer instead of using your hands you save about 15 gallons of water? So why do we even bother to use our hands?(We get out of chores anyway!)

We spend too much water refilling our pools, we dispose the water while new water comes in at the same time, which is like disposing the clean water.

Why does the pool constantly need to be washed when nothing has happened to it?

Everyone uses the toilet to flush. But every single time we flush the toilet we waste 3.5 gallons of water. You can prevent this by replacing a toilet with a toilet that is water sensed toilet.

Why does it take so much water just to flush one toilet?

All of us have to eat to survive. But before we cook the food, we need to wash the food a few times for it to be clean.  Just cooking a normal dinner uses a lot of water.

If we use this much water just for a simple meal, then why do we still waste food and water?

Most pools and splash pads have a lot of water in them which wastes a lot of water but even then water is consistently being circulated throughout the splash pad and/or pool even though almost all of the water is all clean. This is such a waste!!!

If most pools are chlorinated then why do pool companies create pools that always have to circulate and waste water?

Industries like companies and factories, use water to produce, clean, transport, or even make a product. This can contaminate the water source and affect the wildlife around it. Another problem with industrial water usage is that it wastes water.

How can we reduce industrial water usage when making products?

Why do industries need water to make things?

when we have a bottle of water we are obviously going to drink it. But when we have left over water and we forget to drink the rest. Most of the time we are dumping it out so that is wasting water.

How come the people just poor it out, why can't they just finish the rest ?

If their full why can't they give the rest of the water to their family members maybe their, thirsty ?

Overwatering plants kills them and waste water because after you overwater them you can't take the water back.

Why don't people who have plants research how much water they need before watering them instead of overwatering them?

Why do people overwater plants in the first place?

The building of hydrodams can harm or affect wildlife.

How do engineers who build hydrodams decide on where to build it?

How does a hydrodam generate electricity?

We grow plants to have fruits and vegetables, but watering them can mean lots of water can be wasted because if you over water the plant will die so that means the water that you gave it before it died will be a waste if you did not get and fruits or vegetables from it yet.

why can we collect the water from the rain buckets and water our plants with the rain water?

why cant we give the plant just enough water so that it can live?

The bad thing about water is that its not the same, we in North America have tons of clean water we don't even know what to do with. But other parts of the world don't have the same privileges as we do
In some parts of the world the can't just turn there sink (which the wouldn't have since the in poverty anyway) the women have to find water which isn't clean and they know.
we have the it easy and did you know that 60% if people with with water have a 70% of just wasting. And 8 out of all Africans will not wast there water which isn't even clean.

My question is how do you filter water, what is the steps of taking pee or lake Ontario water and making into what id drink  every single day?
